merchant  firms,  from  1753  to  1834,  in  Maryland  and  Virginia.

JOHN  ARCHDALE 

The  papers  of  John  Archdale,  the  Quaker,  Governor  of  North 
Carolina,  1694-6,  were  obtained  by  purchase,  in  1915. 

The  collection  consists  of  sixty-five  original  manuscripts,  con- 
temporary drafts  and  copies,  pertaining  entirely  to  Carolina 
affairs  during  Archdale's  governorship  and  afterwards,  dating 
from  1694  to  1706. 

Archdale's  commission  as  Governor,  dated  November  28,  1694, 
is  among  them,  and  there  are  instructions  and  powers  from  the 
Lords  Proprietors  of  Carolina ;  Archdale's  speeches  to  the  legis- 
lature of  the  colony  and  their  replies  ;  and  copies  of  sundry  legis- 
lative acts,  including  the  one  exempting  Quakers  from  service  in

Archdale  of  various  measures  taken  by  him,  from  the  time  of  his 
arrival  in  Carolina,  and  a  general  account  of  his  proceedings, 
from  1695  to  1704,  in  which  various  of  his  speeches,  letters,  etc., 
are  quoted.  There  are  a  number  of  letters  between  Archdale 
and  the  Lords  Proprietors,  touching  colonial  management,  the 
Indians,  relations  with  the  Spanish  in  Florida,  lands,  rents,  etc. ; 
and  the  letters  from  Job  Howes,  J.  Boyd,  John  Barksdale  and 
others  record  the  importance  of  the  religious  and  naturalization 
questions  in  the  struggling  colony.  There  are  a  few  letters  of 
an  important  correspondence  in  1696,  with  the  Spanish  governor 
of  St.  Augustine,  relative  to  responsibility  for  Indian  depreda- 
tions and  maintenance  of  friendly  relations.  A  group  of  docu- 
ments is  composed  of  correspondence  relating  to  the  settle- 
ment of  German  Palatine  refugees  from  the  Rhine  in  North 
Carolina.  Preparations  began,  apparently,  as  early  as  1705, 
and  the  matter  was  under  the  control  of  what  was  called 
the  High  German  Company  of  Thuringia,  which  addressed  its 
letters  to  Archdale  rather  than  to  the  Lords  Proprietors.  Among 
these  papers  is  a  long  list  of  two  hundred  and  twenty-eight 
queries  propounded  by  the  German  Company,  respecting  Caro- 
lina, its  climate,  soil,  laws  and  the  rights  and  privileges  of  colo- 
nists, and  a  letter  from  the  Company  to  Archdale,  begging  his 
influence  to  obtain,  through  the  Queen,  passports  through  Lune- 
burg  and  Hesse-Cassel  for  the  Palatine  refugees. 

Miscellaneous  papers  are :  an  undated  plan  for  regulating  the 
Indian  trade;  an  attested  copy  of  Jesse  Sothell's  will,  1689/90, 
Jan.  25 ;  an  anonymous  account  of  Carolina ;  Councillor  William 
Thomson's  opinion  on  the  Carolina  patent;  extracts  from  the 
proceedings  of  the  Council,  in  1695 ;  an  undated  draft  of  Arch- 
dale's  paper :  *'  Some  weighty  considerations  relating  to  America,

of  Charleston,  the  forts,  the  harbor,  and  the  North  Carolina 
coast.

Stevens,  Peter  Wilson  and  others.    Among  the  letters  to  Boudi- 
not  are  several  from  Sir  William  Howe  and  Joshua  Loring. 

Boiidinot's  reports  to  the  Board  of  War  contain  interesting 
items  regarding  the  condition  of  American  prisoners  at  New 
York  and  elsewhere,  and  the  charges  upon  which  they  are  held. 
The  "  Returns  "  show  the  number  of  prisoners  held  in  confine- 
ment in  New  York  at  various  times  during  the  war.  A  number 
of  petitions  from  prisoners  are  alsf  included. 

SYLVANUS  BOURNE 

The  papers  of  Sylvanus  Bourne,  of  Massachusetts,  and  of 
William  Taylor,  Jonathan  Meredith  and  John  White,  of  Balti- 
more. The  affairs  of  these  men  were  so  interwoven  that  their 
papers  form  practically  one  collection. 

Sylvanus  Bourne's  papers  form  the  most  important  though 
not  the  largest  group.  They  comprise  34  portfolios  and  some 
500  or  more  folders  of  manuscripts.  The  period  covered  is  from 
1774  to  1854  inclusive. 

Sylvanus  Bourne  was  of  Barnstable,  Massachusetts.  He  was 
in  business  for  some  years,  and  then  became  United  States  Con- 
sul at  Amsterdam,  a  post  he  retained  for  many  years. 

The  early  portion  of  the  collection  contains  much  of  political 
interest.  The  later  letters  are  from  the  various  consular  offi- 
cers in  European  ports,  giving  news  of  the  depredations  com- 
mitted on  American  commerce,  and  information  on  the  various 
measures  showing  the  policy  of  Great  Britain  and  Napoleon 
toward  America  and  American  trade.  The  letters  from  America 
have  current  political  news.  There  are  also  many  drafts  of  let- 
ters and  papers  from  Bourne's  own  hand,  including  memorials 
to  the  Dutch  Government -and  despatches  to  the  Department  of 
State,  letters  to  other  consular  offices  and  to  merchants. 

Among  the  letters  to  Bourne,  the  series  from  other  consuls  is, 
perhaps,  the  most  notable.  The  following  will  give  some  idea 
of  its  extent:  John  Appleton,  Calais  (7)  ;  Lawson  Alexander, 
Rotterdam    (30)  ;   Richard  Codman,   Paris    (31)  ;   George  Rix

Holland,  in  this  collection,  are  supplemented  by  30  additional 
letters  of  Murray  to  Bourne,  purchased  in  1904  and  now  form- 
ing part  of  the  Murray  collection.  A  number  of  letters  relating 
to  prizes  in  the  War  of  1812  and  later ;  letters  to  Bourne  from 
members  of  his  family ;  and  a  small  package  of  applications  ad- 
dressed to  the  Directors  of  the  Baltimore  Library  Company,  in 
1843,  complete  the  correspondence. 

There  are  about  700  forms,  accounts,  advertisements  and 
Dutch  papers.  Other  items  are  a  memorandum  book,  of  the 
year  1794;  a  List  of  American  Vessels  Arrived  at  the  Port  of 
Amsterdam  in  1809;  and  several  miscellaneous  broadsides  re-

Bourne,  between  1790  and  1800.  Among  them  are  manuscripts 
of  Edmund  Randolph,  Tobias  Lear,  John  Quincy  Adams  and 
Thomas  Jefferson.  There  are  also  a  number  of  prints  of  Gen- 
eral Washington.    The  album  was  also  purchased  in  1903. 

JOHN  LEEDS  BOZMAN 

This  collection,  consisting  of  three  bound  volumes,  is  com-

BOZMAN 

John  Leeds  Bozmau,  (1757-1823),  historian  of  Maryland,  lived 
near  Easton,  in  Talbot  County.  He  left  his  papers  to  his 
nephew,  John  Leeds  Kerr,  who  was  a  Representative  in  Con- 
gress, 1825-1829,  and  1831-1833.  From  him  they  passed  to  his 
son,  John  Bozman  Kerr,  jNIember  of  Congress,  1848-1850.  The 
papers  of  these  three  men  make  up  the  bulk  of  the  collection, 
and  it  was  from  a  descendant  of  the  latter,  Mrs.  John  H.  K. 
Burgwiu,  of  Pittsburg,  Pennsylvania,  that  the  papers  were 
acquired  by  the  Library,  in  1909. 

This  part  of  the  collection  begins  in  1730  and  continues  to 
1856.  It  consists  almost  entirely  of  correspondence.  The  earliest 
letters  are  those  of  John  Leeds  and  John  Bozman,  1730  to  1750. 
After  them  come  the  letters  of  John  Leeds  Bozman,  John  Leeds 
Kerr  and  John  Bozman  Kerr.  Among  the  early  writers  were : 
Arnold  Elzey,  Nicholas  Goldsborough,  Benjamin  Richardson, 
Jun.,  and  John  Lloyd.  There  are  drafts 'of  many  of  John  Leeds 
Bozman's  own  letters,  and  letters  to  him  from  William  Tudor, 
Jr.,  of  Boston,  and  Edward  J.  Coale,  the  Baltimore  printer. 
Among  the  correspondents  of  John  Bozman  Kerr  were  Isaac 
Edwards  Morse,  C.  S.  Storrow  and  Isaac  Appleton  Jewett. 

A  portion  of  the  collection  of  a  distinctly  different  character 
consists  of  the  mercantile  papers  of  Daniel  Richardson  and 
his  wife,  Ruth.  From  1711  to  1722,  the  year  of  his  death, 
Daniel  Richardson  was  engaged  in  trade  with  merchants  in 
Philadelphia  and  London.  There  are  numerous  letters  and 
accounts  of  William  Fishbourne  and  Ennion  Williams  of 
Philadelphia,  and  a  number  of  invoices  of  goods  imported  from 
England.  Ruth  Richardson  settled  her  husband's  estate,  and 
there  are  many  letters  and  accounts  in  that  connection  as  late 
at  1729. 

Copies  of  early  wills,  inventories,  and  land  records  of  the 
Leeds  and  Richardson  families,  1688  to  1710 ;  a  list  of  the  fees 
received  at  the  port  of  Oxford,  Maryland,  1765  and  1766,  giv- 
ing a  list  of  ships  and  the  dates  of  their  arrival ;  manuscript 
copies  of  speeches  delivered  by  Luther  Martin  and  James  Mc- 
Henry,  in  1787,  in  the  Maryland  legislature,  about  the  proceed- 
ings of  the  Constitutional  Convention  of  1787.

BRECKINRIDGE  PAPERS 

These  papers,  the  gift,  in  1905,  of  Miss  Sophom"sba  Preston 
Breckinridge  and  Mr.  Desha  Breckinridge,  children  of  the  late 
Hon.  William  C.  P.  Breckinridge,  of  Lexington,  Kentucky, 
form  one  of  the  largest  collections  now  in  the  Manuscript  Divi- 
sion. A  conservative  estimate  would  place  their  number  be- 
tween twenty-five  and  thirty  thousand.  They  were  collected 
by  William  C.  P.  Breckinridge  from  a  variety  of  sources,  and 
were  arranged  by  him  as  his  time  permitted.  His  .  constant 
occupation  in  the  public  service  prevented  his  completing  this 
task. 

The  collection  in  the  main  consists  of  the  papers  of  John 
Breckinridge  (1760-1806)  ;  John  Breckinridge,  his  son  (1797- 
1841)  ;  Robert  Jefferson  Breckinridge,  another  son  (1800-1871)  ; 
and  William  Campbell  Preston  Breckinridge,  son  of  Robert, 
(1837-1905)  ;  and  in  addition  to  these  there  are  papers  of  many 
other  members  of  the  family  and  its  connections. 

John  Breckinridge  the  elder  was  an  early  settler  in  Kentucky, 
the  friend  and  correspondent  of  Jefferson,  member  of  the  State 
Legislature,  the  proposer,  if  not  the  framer,  of  the  Kentucky 
resolutions  of  1798,  United  States  Senator  from  Kentucky,  and 
Attorney  General  in  Jefferson's  Cabinet.  Robert  Jefferson 
Breckinridge  was  for  some  years  in  political  life,  but  later 
became  a  clergyman  and  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church.  His  correspondence  is  extensive,  and  covers  his  pas- 
torates at  Baltimore,  at  Canonsburg,  Pennsylvania,  where  he 
was  President  of  Jefferson  College,  and  at  Lexington,  Ken- 
tucky.   William  C.  P.  Breckinridge  served  in  the  Confederate

tain restrictions  placed  by  the  donors  upon  the  use  of  the 
papers.

The  collection  comprises  150  portfolios  and  57  bound  volumes, 
exclusive  of  the  Continental  Congress  imprints,  theatrical  play- 
bills, unbound  songs,  carrier's  addresses,  etc  Many  of  them 
were  received  with  the  Peter  Force  Library  in  1867,  and  had 
apparently  been  collected  by  Ebenezer  Hazard. 

The  broadsides  in  the  portfolios  are  arranged  chronologically 
by  imprint.  .  ^  _  , 

The  extent  of  this  collection  may  t)e  indicatecl  by  using  one 
or  two  of  the  countries  and  states  as  examples.  The'broadsides 
of  Great  Britain  comprise  seven  portfolios,  covering  from  1644 
to  1863.  Those  of  Mexico  comprise  six  portfolios,  from  1792  to 
1840.  The  United  States  collection  consists  of  fifteen  portfolios, 
from  1788  to  1900.  Of  the  individual  states,  the  broadsides  of 
Connecticut,  1622-1900,  occupy  four  portfolios ;  Delaware,  1732- 
1904,  one  portfolio ;  Kentucky,  1790-1879,  two  portfolios ;  Mary-

The  earliest  of  the  bound  broadsides  are  four  volumes  contain- 
ing proclamations,  letters  and  acts  of  the  reign  of  James  II  and

Yale,  (1756,  1758,  1761,  1762). 

The  long  series  of  issues  of  the  New  England  Loyal  Publica- 
tion Society  lacks  only  forty-five  numbers  to  make  it  complete. 
This  series  was  the  gift  of  Charles  Eliot  Norton,  of  Cambridge, 
Massachusetts,  in  1903.  Two  volumes  of  American  broadsides,

JACOB  BROWN 

Two  official  letter  books,  dating  from  1814  to  1827 ;  and  a 
memorandum  of  occurrences  in  the  campaign  at  Niagara,  in 
1814,  setting  forth  th'e  military  services  of  Major  General 
Jacob  Brown,  U.  S.  A. 

The  first  letter  book  begins  April  14,  1814,  shortly  before  he 
took  possession  of  Fort  Erie,  and  contains  information  regard- 
ing the  movements  of  troops,  and  descriptions  of  battles  fought 
in  the  vicinity  of  Niagara ;  also,  an  estimate  by  Commodore 
Isaac  Chauncey  of  the  naval  forces  on  Lake  Ontario,  in  1814. 
Much  of  the  second  letter  book,  1816  to  1827,  is  taken  up  with 
correspondence  with  the  Secretary  of  War,  but  there  are  many 
letters  to  other  individuals  upon  army  affairs  in  general.  The 
earlier  letters,  1816  to  1821,  deal  particularly  with  the  northern 
division  of  the  army.  A  long  memorandum  of  the  tribes  of 
Indians  in  the  Northwest,  in  1819,  gives  the  names  of  tribes, 
chiefs,  number  of  warriors,  number  of  souls,  residence,  and 
their  mode  of  life  and  occupations.

nature.  There  are  some  family  letters;  a  number  from  his 
brother,  John  Brown,  Senator  from  Kentucky,  and  of  corre- 
spondents in  Louisiana  and  Virginia.  Francis  X.  Martin  was 
also  a  correspondent.  The  period  covered  by  these  letters  and

Thomas  Butler,  of  the  2hd  Infantry,  U.  S.  A.,  for  refusing  to

SILAS  BROWN,  JR. 

Correspondence  with  Ephraim  Brown,  1805-1817;  in  all,  six- 
teen letters,  including  two  from  the  latter.  Deposited,  1915, 
by  Mrs.  Michael  D.  Harter,  of  Mansfield,  Ohio.  Silas  Brown, 
Jr.,  was  a  pioneer  from  New  Hampshire;  the  letters  detail  his 
travels  from  that  State  to  Albany,  Onondaga,  Pittsburgh, 
Marietta  and  Natchez.  The  latter  part  of  this  trip  he  took 
as  a  member  of  Aaron  Burr's  expedition.  At  Marietta  he  be- 
came acquainted  with  Blennerhassett.  There  is  much  regard-

suspicion  under  which  Brown  labored  because  of  his  connection 
therewith.

The  papers  of  John  Middletoii  Clayton,  containing  some  1,300

The  collection  begins  in  1798,  but  the  earliest  Clayton  item  is 
in  1815.  Papers  prior  to  that  date  consist  mainly  of  land 
records  of  the  Clayton  family,  but  there  is  a  long  letter,  dated 
November  8,  1804,  written  by  Peter  Jaquett,  formerly  a  cap- 
tain in  the  Delaware  regiment,  to  Caesar  A.  Rodney.  There 
are  a  few  of  Clayton's  writings,  drafts  of  letters,  dispatches, 
circulars  and  addresses. 

Seven  of  the  twelve  volumes  contain  the  correspondence  and 
papers  of  the  period  (1849-1850)  during  which  Clayton  served 
as  Secretary  of  State.  There  are  35  communications  of  Sir 
Henry  Bulwer,  and  an  equal  number  of  Clayton's. 

The  private  letters  of  Abbott  Lawrence  (27),  William  C. 
Rives  (19),  and  E.  George  Squier  (8)  relate  to  business  in- 
trusted to  them  as  agents  of  the  government. 

Political  letters  are  from  John  J.  Crittenden  (49),  Henry 
Clay  (26),  Elisha  Whittlesey  (15),  James  A.  Bayard  (10),

HEINRICH  URBAN  CLEVE 

Captain  Heinrich  Urban  Cleve  was  adjutant  of  the  Bruns- 
wick battalion  of  the  Hessian  Army  in  America,  and  aide  de 
camp  to  General  Frederich  Adolph  Riedesel,  the  commander 
of  those  troops.  This  manuscript  consists  of  112  pages  of 
closely  written  German  script,  in  two  portions,  the  first  being 
transcripts  of  letters  to  his  brother,  Hartwig  Cleve,  and  other 
relatives  and  friends,  written  from  St.  Anne's  in  Canada, 
from  March  9,  1777,  to  April  20,  1777,  giving  descriptions  of  the 
country,  and  information  regarding  the  movements  of  the  Eng- 
lish and  Hessian  troops,  and  the  plans  for  the  Burgoyne  expe- 
dition. The  second  portion  is  a  dairy,  written  at  Cambridge, 
where  Cleve  was  taken  as  a  prisoner.  It  covers  the  period 
from  November  15,  1777,  to  April,  1778,  and  contains  a  descrip- 
tion of  the  place,  and  comments  on  events  which  transpired. 
Evidently  this  manuscript  at  one  time  formed  part  of  a  com- 
plete narrative  of  Cleve's  adventures  in  America,  for  it  is 
labeled:  Parts  20  and  21.  It  was  probably  secured  by  the 
Library  of  Congress  with  the  Peter  Force  collection.

the  state  as  the  war  progressed. 

In  addition  to  these  are  letters  written  to  Crawford,  after 
the  war,  furnishing  facts  regarding  Fort  Sumter  and  the  com-

This  group  consists  chiefly  of  papers  dated  from  Fort  Sumter, 
referring  to  the  bombardment,  and  two  sketches  of  the  fort. 
There  are  also  two  telegrams  from  Governor  Joseph  E.  Brown, 
of  Georgia,  in  1861,  relating  .to  the  seizure  of  Pensacola  and 
Fort  Pulaski,  several  letters  from  Governor  F.  W.  Pickens  of

The  John  Jordan  Crittenden  Papers  were  acquired  in  1905, 
f :'om  Mrs.  Robert  H.  Crittenden,  of  Frankfort,  Ky.  They  consist 
of  letters  written  to  Crittenden,  some  law  papers,  principally

and  a  few  copies  of  his  own  letters  and  speeches,  preserved  by 
him  and  retained  by  his  descendants. 

The  correspondence  from  public  characters  is  particularly

War, — the  period  of  his  attempted  compromise.  Included  are 
letters  of  George  M.  Bibb,  Henry  Clay,  Joseph  H.  Hawkins, 
Francis  P.  Blair  and  Anthony  Butler,  of  the  earlier  period; 
later,  there  are  letters  of  James  Barbour,  William  S.  Archer,

umes, with  the  exception  of  a  portfolio  of  printed  matter,  and 
six  small  miscellaneous  volumes,  which  were  left  in  their  origi-

[1818].  .  .  .  After  the  death  of  William  Temple  Franklin  [in 
1823]  the  papers  were  for  some  years  in  the  possession  of  his 
landlord,  a  tailor,  in  London,  who  disposed  of  them,  some  thirty 
years  back,  to  Mr.  Henry  Stevens,  where  they  have  since  re- 
mained." [From  a  letter  of  Edward  C.  Bigmore  to  T.  F.  Dwight, 
16  December,  1880.] 

In  1880  an  announcement  of  the  intended  sale  of  these  papers

Whittingham,  to  whom  they  had  been  pledged  as  security  by 
Henry  Stevens.  The  public  sale  was  postponed,  and  the  entire 
collection  was  purchased  at  private  sale  by  the  United  States 
Government,  in  1882.  From  that  date  until  their  transfer  to 
the  Library  of  Congress,  by  Executive  Order,  in  1903,  they  were 
deposited  in  the  Bureau  of  Rolls  and  Library  of  the  Department 
of  State,  where  the  diplomatic  records  from  the  collection  are 
still  retained. 

The  portion  of  the  collection  which  came  to  the  Library  is 
known  as  the  "  second  series."  It  is  mounted  in  fourteen  folio 
volumes,  each  document  being  numbered,  1-3500.  In  addition, 
there  are  several  separately  bound  items,  such  as  the  letter  to 
Strahan,  July  5,  1775,  and  Franklin's  "  51st  Chapter  of  Genesis." 

Eight  4:°  boxes  of  typewritten  transcripts  of  the  Franklin 
papers  in  the  Department  of  State,  made  by  Henry  Stevens,  are

SAMUEL  AND  JOHN   GALLOWAY 

With  the  books  and  papers  of  Samuel  Galloway  and  John 
Galloway,  merchants  of  Maryland,  came  the  papers  of  Francis 
Markoe  and  Virgil  Maxcy,  forming  a  continuous  series. 


136  •  LIBEAEY  OF  CONGRESS. 

GALLOWAY  '  - 

The  Galloway  papers  consist  of  37  portfolios  of  correspond- 
ence and  other  papers,  1738-1820,  and  some  75  volumes  of  ac- 
counts and  miscellany,  1718-1812. 

In  1738  Samuel  Galloway  was  established  as  a  merchant  at 
West  River,  Anne  Arundel  County,  Maryland.  He  exported 
tobacco  and  imported  merchandise,  and  carried  on  an  extensive 
correspondence  with  London  merchants.  At  one  period  he 
crossed  over  to  London  and  remained  several  years,  returning 
in  1756.  During  his  absence,  his  business  affairs  in  Maryland 
were  looked  after  by  his  brother,  Joseph  Galloway,  who  later 
became  prominent  in  Pennsylvania  as  Speaker  of  the  Assembly 
and  Tory  member  of  the  Continental  Congress.  Upon  his  re- 
turn, Samuel  Galloway  lived  on  the  estate  of  Tulip  Hill,  which 
Francis  Markoe  afterwards  occupied,  and  later  at  Annapolis. 

John  Galloway,  a  son  of  Samuel,  removed,  about  1775,  to  the 
Eastern  Shore  of  Maryland,  taking  over  and  conducting  the. 
business  of  Thomas  Ringgold,  of  Chestertown,  Kent  County, 
Maryland,  upon  the  death  of  the  latter.  The  books  and  papers 
in  connection  with  this  business  form  the  greater  portion  of  the 
collection. 

Another  member  of  the  Galloway  family,  many  of  whose 
papers  appear,  was  Benjamin  Galloway. 

The  early  correspondence  of  Samuel  Galloway  with  Humphrey 
Adams,  Sylvanus  Grove  and  other  London  merchants  is  volumi- 
nous. John  Galloway  and  Thomas  Ringgold  continually  kept 
each  other  informed  as  to  prices  and  trade  conditions  on  both 
sides  of  the  bay,  and  later,  when  John  Galloway  removed  to 
the  Eastern  Shore,  he  carried  on  a  similar  correspondence  with 
his  father.  The  letters  of  Benjamin  Tasker,  jr.,  furnish  infor- 
mation about  trade  in  the  Patuxent  River  section.  Letters  of 
the  Baltimore  firm  of  Chew  and  Cheston  are  also  numerous. 
Letters  are  from  members  of  the  Chew,  Ringgold,  Tilghman, 
Dulaney,  Howard,  Cheston,  and  other  prominent  families.  The 
letters  from  Philadelphia  in  particular  are  full  of  comments 
upon  political  events. 

Among  the  writers  may  be  mentioned  Chief  Justice  Benjamin 
Chew,  of  Pennsylvania,  Colonel  Samuel  Chew,  of  Herring  Bay,

ALEXANDER  HAMILTON 

The  General  Act  for  the  Civil  and  Diplomatic  Expenses  of  the 
Government,  passed  by  Congress,  August  12,  1848,  (9  Stat:  4, 
284)  included  a  provision  for  an  expenditure  of  $20,000  for  the 
purchase  of  the  papers  and  manuscripts  of  Alexander  Hamilton, 
and  $6,000  additional  for  printing  and  publishing  the  whole  or 
any  part  thereof,  as  the  Joint  Committee  on  the  Library  might 
direct. 

By  an  Executive  Order,  the  Hamilton  Collection  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  Manuscript  Division  of  the  Library  of  Congress  in 
June,  1904,  It  was  card-indexed  by  Mr.  Worthington  C.  Ford. 
The  papers  are  mounted  and  bound  in  84  folio  volumes. 

All,  or  nearly  all,  of  Hamilton's  important  public  documents, — 
the  reports  and  pamphlets — are  contained  in  it,  as  well  as  his 
articles  for  the  press. 

The  bulli  of  the  material  is  correspondence  received. 

In  1799  Hamilton  accepted  the  commission  of  Inspector  Gen- 
eral of  the  Army,  More  than  half  of  the  collection  is  made  up  of 
papers  written  during  this  period. 

In  point  of  number,  the  letters  of  James  IVIcHenry  rank  first. 
There  are  more  than  one  hundred  letters  of  George  Washing- 
ton. Fisher  Ames,  George  Cabot,  Edward  Carrington,  Robert 
Goodloe  Harper,  John  Jay,  Thomas  Jefferson,  Rufus  King, 
Lafayette,  Henry  Lee,  Richard  Kidder  Meade,  William  Vans 
Murray,  Timothy  Pickering,  Charles  Cotesworth  Pinckney,  Ed- 
mund Randolph,  Theodore  Sedgwick,  Baron  Steuben,  Major 
L'Enfant,  Benjamin  Stoddert  and  Oliver  Wolcott  are  all  repre- 
sented by  a  number  of  manuscripts. 

For  use  in  his  Report  on  Manufactures,  when  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury,  Hamilton  gathered  material  pertaining  to  the  numer- 
ous industries  which  were  being  established.  In  connection  with 
his  reports  on  the  Mint,  the  Establishment  of  a  Bank,  and  the

Tariff,  there  are  notes  on  coinage,  on  the  weight  of  specie  in 
various  countries,  on  architectural  arrangements  for  a  Mint,  and 
a  series  of  trade  reports.  In  a  twelve-page  letter,  Thomas  llan- 
dall  reports  upon  trade  conditions  in  China  and  the  East  Indies 
for  example. 

The  correspondence  from  the  commanders  of  the  various  mili- 
tary posts  on  the  w^estern  frontier  to  the  Inspector  General 
consists  of  frequent  letters  and  reports  from  Visscher  at  Oswego, 
Rivardi  at  Niagara,  Hamtramck  at  Pittsburgh  and  General 
James  Wilkinson  at  Natchez  and  other  points  on  the  Mississippi. 
Those  of  the  latter  are  full  in  details  regarding  the  Mississippi 
country. 

The  military  papers  of  the  Provisional  Army  period  contain 
a  number  of  military  treatises,  which  were  prepared  under 
Hamilton's  direction.  There  are  complete  lists  of  officers,  both 
for  the  "  Provisional "  regiments  and  the  four  regiments  of  the 
regular  army ;  and  the  correspondence  contains  much  personal 
information  regarding  the  applicants  for  commissions. 

The  collection  comprises  in  all  about  8000  documents,  dating 
from  1760  to  1830.  Of  these,  about  2500  are  letters  and  papers 
by  Hamilton;  the  remainder,  with  the  exception  of  about  175 
army  rolls,  etc.,  represent  the  correspondence  and  papers  ad- 
dressed to  him. 

The  collection  was  added  to  in  1916  by  a  gift  from  Dr.  Allan 
McLane  Hamilton,  of  Great  Barrington,  Mass.,  of  the  purely 
personal  papers  of  Alexander  Hamilton,  475  pieces.  These  in- 
clude 250  letters  to  Hamilton,  among  the  writers  being  Gen. 
Philip  Schuyler,  Elisha  Boudinot,  Jeremiah  Wadsworth  and 
members  of  the  Livingston  family.  There  are  50  letters  ( includ- 
ing drafts  of  letters)  from  Hamilton,  of  which  22  are  to  his 
wife,  including  the  last  two  he  wrote  her  before  the  duel. 
Fifty  other  letters  neither  to  nor  from  Hamilton  relate  chiefly 
to  legal  cases  in  which  he  was  concerned.  The  remainder  of 
the  personal  papers  are  accounts,  receipts,  school  exercises, 
papers  relating  to  the  settlement  of  his  estate,  and  a  few  mis- 
cellaneous documents.    There  are  two  folio  account  books  cover-

the  quartermaster  business  on  the  California  coast.  There  are 
a  few  letters  from  Wm.  T.  Sherman  regarding  supplies  and  an 
insurrection  in  Lower  California.  About  one-third  of  the  papers 
date  between  1861-65.  Gen.  Hardie  carried  the  order  relieving 
Gen.  Hooker  from  command  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  and 
appointing  Gen.  Meade  in  his  place  three  days  before  the  battle 
of  Gettysburg;  the  official  envelopes  in  which  these  orders  and 
instructions  were  enclosed  are  in  the  collection,  endorsed  as  to 
the  facts,  by  Gen.  H.  W.  Halleck.  Later,  in  1865,  there  are 
sundry  documents  respecting  Hardie's  connection  with  the  execu- 
tion of  Mrs.  Surratt.  Among  the  correspondents  are  Sherman, 
Sheridan,  Stanton,  Archbishop  Spalding,  Halleck,  Burnside,  and 
McClellan.  Purchased,  1916.

NEIL  JAMIESON 

Neil  Jamieson  was  th6  Virginia  resident  partner  of  the  firm 
of  Glassford,  Gordon,  Monteath  &  Co.,  merchants  of  Glasgow, 
Scotland,  successors  to  Glassford,  Munro  &  Co.,  also  of  Glas- 
gow; resided  in  Norfolk  from  1757  (perhaps  earlier)  until 
1776,  when,  because  of  his  Tory  sentiments,  he  was  forced 
to  take  refuge  with  Lord  Dunmore's  fleet.  He  was  conveyed 
to  New  York  in  the  fall  of  that  year,  and  engaged  in  tobacco 
shipping  and  general  merchandizing.  In  1786,  he  went  to  Hali- 
fax, to  appear  before  the  Commissioners  of  the  Crown,  with  a 
claim  for  his  own  losses  and  for  those  of  himself  and  partners 
in  the  business  at  Norfolk.    From  this  date,  his  New  Ycrrk  busi-

iiess  was   conducted   by   an   agent.     Later   Jamieson   went   to 
London. 

The  papers,  bound  in  twenty-three  volumes,  begin  in  1757  and 
extend  to  1789.  They  consist  of  invoices,  orders,  accounts  and 
correspondence.  The  earlier  papers  deal  with  goods  imported 
and  sold  at  Norfolk  and  Portsmouth,  where  Glassford,  Gordon, 
Monteath  &  Co.  owned  a  half  interest  in  the  wharf.  Their  busi- 
ness here,  and  at  Great  Bridge,  Virginia,  where  they  also  had 
interests,  they  conducted  under  the  firm  name  of  Neil  Jamieson 
&  Co.  At  Norfolk  they  owned  a  distillery,  under  the  name  of 
Jamieson,  Campbell,  Calvert  &  Co.  In  the  papers  for  the  year 
1776  are  many  orders  for  money  "  on  account  of  His  Majesty's 
Service."  Later  papers  are  the  letters  and  accounts  of  the 
New  York  firms  of  John  McAdam  &  Co.,  and  Taylor  and  Bayard. 

The  correspondence  consists  mainly  of  letters  to  Jamieson. 
Prior  to  the  He  volution  there  are  letters  to  and  from  the  Glas- 
gow firms  of  Glassford,  Munro  &  Co.,  Glassford,  Shortridge  & 
Gordon  Co.,  Alexander  Houstoun  &  Co.,  and  James  Gordon. 
Later  the  letters  are  mainly  from  Virginia  merchants,  many  of 
them  asking  aid  in  the  recovery  of  runaway  slaves. 

Among  the  correspondents  are:  Messrs.  H.  &  A.  Wallace; 
Boyd  &  White,  Richmond;  Ross  &  Vaughan,  Philadelphia; 
Thorowgood  Smith,  Baltimore;  Robert  Donald,  Petersburg; 
Daniel  Barraud,  Smithfield;  Daniel  Triplett,  Culpeper;  James 
Buchanan,  Richmond;  Miles  King;  John  Calvert;  James  Lyle;' 
M.  Byrd ;  Samuel  Beall ;  James  Dunlap  and  others.  Purchased,

1903.  They  are  the  great  body  of  papers  which  Jeffei*son  left, 
and  to  them  has  been  added  a  group  which  the  Library  already 
had,  and  several  lesser  collections  acquired  from  various  sources 
in  the  past  few  years. 

They  extend  from  1757  to  1826.  They  include  Jefferson's 
personal,  professional  and  official  papers.  The  chief  correspond- 
ence is  with  John  Adams  (1777  to  1826),  William  Carmichael, 
the  Continental  Congress,  Henry  Dearborn,  Albert  Gallatin 
(1793  to  1823),  the  United  States  Congress,  John  Jay  (1783  to 
1794),  La  Fayette,  Robert  R.  Livingston,  James  Madison  (1786 
to  1826,  the  largest  group  of  all),  James  Monroe  (1793  to  1826), 
William  Short,  and  George  Washington  (1779  to  1796).  There 
are  a  great  many  notes  of  opinions,  memoranda,  journals  and 
reminiscences. 

The  papers  cover  almost  every  phase  of  Jefferson's  career. 
There  are  many  pertaining  to  his  law  practice,  to  the  manage- 
ment of  his  farms,  his  scientific  interests,  his  domestic  life,  and 
to  his  connection  with  the  University  of  Virginia.  His  draft  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence  is  in  the  State  Department; 
but  his  correspondence,  w^hile  he  was  in  tlie  Congress  of  1776, 
is  here.  There  are  a  great  many  letters,  written  while  he  was 
in  Europe,  and  a  great  many  of  his  official  letters  when  he  was 
I*resident. 

The  State  Department,  Bureau  of  Rolls  and  Library,  published 
a  calendar  of  the  main  collection  in  three  volume,  1894-1903.  It 
covers  about  seven-eighths  of  the  whole  collection.

JOHN  PAUL  JONES 

Eleven  folio  volumes  containing  the  manuscripts  of  John 
Paul  Jones  formed  a  part  of  the  Peter  Force  Collection,  pur- 
chasetl  by  the  Library  in  1867.  By  his  will,  Jones  left  his  papers 
to  his  sisters  and  their  children.  Shortly  after  his  death,  his 
sister,  Mrs.  Jane  Taylor,  sent  such  of  his  papers  as  best  illus- 
trated his  services  in  the  War  of  the  American  Revolution  to 
Robert  Hyslop,  a  solicitor  in  New"  York,  who  retained  them 
until  his  death,  when  they  passed  into  the  hands  of  a  tradesman 
in  that  city,  from  whom  they  were  acquired  by  Mr.  George  A. 
Ward,  and,  in  1825,  Col.  John  Henry  Sherburne,  Registrar  of 
the  Navy,  printed  many  of  them  in  his  Life  of  Jones.  The  papers 
afterward  came  into  the  possession  of  Peter  Force. 

They  date  from  1775  to  1788,  the  larger  number  covering  the 
years  1778-1780  inclusive.  Letters  passing  between  Jones,

ginia, military  affairs.  Those  written  in  1789  pertain  to  the 
Constitutional  Convention.

JONES  FAMILY  PAPERS 

A  large  collection  of  letters  and  papers  of  the  Jones  family  of 
Virginia,  descendants  of  Captain  Roger  Jones,  who  came  from 
England  with  Lord  Culpeper.  in  1680.  Presented,  in  1912,  by 
the  heirs  of  Thomas  Jones,  of  Clark  County,  Kentucky,  through 
liewis  H.  Jones,  of  Louisville,  Kentucky. 

The  papers,  though  there  are  a  few  bearing  dates  in  the  17th 
Century — one  as  early  as  1662 — ,  practically  begin  about  the 
year  1702,  with  the  correspondence  of  Colonel  Thomas  Jones,  a 
planter,  merchant,  and  extensive  landholder,  of  Williamsburgh. 
Letters  from  the  Randolphs,  William  Byrd,  Henry  Chiles,  Henry 
Hacker,  William  Nelson,  Mark  King,  Henry  Armistead,  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Gooch,  Holloway,  Stith,  Coke  and  Fauntleroy  families 
are  included.  In  England,  Mark  Catesby,  author  of  "  The 
Natural  History  of  Carolina,  Florida  and  the  Bahama  Islands  "  ; 
Walter  King,  of  London  and  Bristol;  and  John  Pratt,  of  Lon- 
don, were  correspondents  and  family  connections. 

There  is  a  series  of  letters  of  Colonel  Thomas  Jones,  in  1724- 
1725,  to  the  lady  who  afterward  became  his  wife;  also  letters 
from  his  brother.  Colonel  Frederick  Jones,  of  New  Hanover 
County,  N.  C,  whose  will,  dated  1722,  is  with  the  papers  re-

lating  to  the  settlement  of  his  estate,  in  1723,  list  of  slaves, 
accounts,  etc.  Among  the  mercantile  papers,  are  accounts 
current  with  Edward  Randolph  &  Co.,  and  correspondence  with 
Thomas  Nelson,  a  merchant  at  Yorktown. 

The  bulk  of  the  economic  material,  however,  is  between  1750 
and  1800,  the  papers  of  a  second  Thomas  Jones,  who,  for 
many  years,  was  clerk  of  Northumberland  County.  They  em- 
brace plantation  and  mercantile  papers,  including  among  the 
latter,  accounts  and  invoices  of  goldsmiths,  pewterers,  shoe- 
makers, etc.,  and  a  correspondence  covering  a  number  of  years, 
with  William  Molleson  and  James  Russell,  merchants,  of  Lon- 
don, and  Charles  Goore,  of  Liverpool.  There  are  also  letters 
on  other  subjects,  from  William  Peachey,  Rawleigh  Colston, 
Richard  Lee,  Dr.  Walter  Jones, — afterward  Member  of  Con- 
gress, but  then,  1769-1770,  in  London  and  Edinburgh  as  a  stu- 
dent of  medicine — ,  and  Frederick  Jones,  of  Cape  Fear,  N.  C. 

About  1800  mercantile  papers  terminate,  and  the  correspon- 
dence is,  for  the  most  part,  addressed  to  Thomas  ap  Thomas 
Jones,  at  Bathurst,  Essex  County,  Va.  The  letters  are  nearly 
all  from  family -connections :  Dr.' Walter  Jones;  Lieutenant 
Roger  Jones,  on  board  the  U.  S.  S.  ^lohn  Adams,  afterwards 
Brigadier  General  U.  S.  A. ;  and  his  brother,  Thomas  ap  Cates- 
by  Jones,  a  naval  officer ;  Shelton  Jones,  ^Meriwether  Jones, 
Jones  Burwell,  Lawrence  Muse  and  John  Monroe. 

Of  a  later  date  are  two  letters  of  appreciation  from  S.  R. 
Mallory,  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  C.  S.  A.,  to  Lieutenant  Catesby 
ap  R.  Jones,  who  commanded  the  C.  S.  S.  Alerrimac  in  her  en- 
gagement with  the  Monitor,  and  was  afterwards  Chief  of  Ord- 
nance in  the  Confederate  Navy.  There  is  also  a  statement 
from  the  office  of  the  Minister  of  Exterior  Relations  of  Peru, 
regarding  his  services  for  that  country,  1867.  The  numerous 
letters  between  1880  and  1890  are  addressed  to  Judge  Lewis  H. 
Jones,  of  Winchester,  Ky.,  regarding  the  family  genealogy. 

Ten  small  memorandum  and  account  books  are  also  in  the 
collection,  regarding  farm  matters,  1791-1797;  a  day-book  of 
Robert  Lucas,  1767-1769 ;  a  meraorapdum  and  diary  of  Thomas

Library.  In  1903  a  volume  of  70  pp.,  containing  a  record  of 
the  books  drawn  by  Members  of  Congress,  1800-1802,  and  some 
miscellaneous  memoranda  of  Jacob  King,  was  obtained  by  pur- 
chase. In  the  year  following  three  folio  volumes  of  receipt 
books,  containing  the  autographs  of  various  members  of  Con- 
gress, 1815-1829,  and  a  letter  of  Librarian  George  Watterston 
to  the  Chairman  of  the  Joint  Library  Committee,  were  received 
by  gift  from  the  George  Watterston  estate.  In  1913  W.  K. 
Bixby  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  presented  a  "  Statement  of  the  Unex- 
pende<^l  Balance  of  the  Appropriation  for  the  Purchase  of  Books 
for  the  Library  of  Congress,"  dated  July  6,  1802,  signed  by

FRANCIS  LIEBER 

Two  hundred  letters  of  Lieber  to  his  intimate  friend,  Samuel 
B.  Ruggles  of  New  York,  between  1828  and  1871.  The  letters 
are  written  in  the  fullest  confidence,  and  are  rich  in  reference 
to  public  and  political  affairs  and  to  the  men  who  participated 
in  them.  Most  of  the  letters  are  found  during  the  period  of 
Lieber's  professorship  in  the  South  Carolina  College,  Charleston, 
S.  C,  and  his  life  during  those  years  is  set  forth  with  especial 
clearness.     The  collection  was  purchased  in  1913. 

Four  additional  letters  of  Lieber,  addressed  to  Henry  R. 
Schoolcraft  and  Charles  Sumner,  1851-1871,  were  acquired  from

GEORGE  B.  McCLELLAN 

The  papers  of  General  George  Brinton  McClellan,  presented 
to  the  Library,  in  1911  and  added  to  in  1916,  by  his  son,  Hon. 
George  B.  McClellan,  of  New  York  City. 

This  collection  embraces  the  entire  body  of  papers,  letters, 
letter  books,  despatch  books,  note  books,  and  memoranda, 
which  accumulated  during  the  years  of  General  McClellan's 
active  life.  The  correspondence  and  other  unbound  manuscripts 
have  been  mounted  and  bound  into  109  volumes.  There  are 
in  addition  some  95  volumes,  of  all  sorts  and  sizes,  in  their 
original  bindings. 

Practically  the  collection  begins  with  the  year  1842,  though 
there  are  one  or  two  manuscripts  of  an  earlier  date,  notably 
a  letter  of  Madison,  written  in  1783.  The  first  letters  of  Mc- 
Clellan are  written  from  West  Point,  during  the  years  1842 
to  1846,  and  are  addressed  to  his  mother,  and  to  his  sister, 
Mrs.  T.  C.  English.  His  valedictory  speech  as  President  of 
the  Dialectic  Society,  at  West  Point,  is  also  among  the  papers 
of  this  period. 

The  letters  to  his  mother  and  sister  continue  throughout  his 
stay  in  Mexico,  and  there  are  additional  letters  of  a  similar

character  to  his  father  and  other  members  of  the  family.  Let- 
ters from  Col.  J.  G.  Totten,  from  the  Adjutant  General's  otRce, 
and  numerous  Executive  Orders  and  circulars  relate  to  military 
operations  between  Vera  Cruz  and  Mexico  City.  There  is  a  let- 
ter of  Captain  Robert  E.  Lee,  in  1848,  conveying  an  order  of 
General  Butler,  directing  McClellan  to  repair  with  his  company 
to  West  Point.  A  private  journal,  1846-1853,  contains  many 
notes  and  sketches  of  fortifications,  etc.,  taken  in  Mexico. 
There  is  also  a  notebook  of  the  year  1846,  and  a  cash  book, 
1847-1848. 

In  1852,  McClellan  was  on  an  exploration  on  the  Red  River, 
and  later  was  Engineer  in  Charge  of  an  expedition  in  Texas. 
In  the  year  following,  he  was  on  engineering  duty  in  Ore- 
gon and  Washington,  part  of  the  time  as  constructing  engi- 
neer on  the  western  division  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Rail- 
road. Letters  of  this  period  are  from  R.  B.  Marcy,  Persifor 
F.  Smith,  J.  D.  P'oster,  Isaac  D.  Stevens,  B.  Alvord,  Charles  E. 
Mix,  George  Gibbs,  J.  R.  Giddings  and  Columbia  Lancaster. 
There  are  a  letter  book  covering  this  period,  and  several 
notebooks,  among  them  one,  containing  notes  on  fortifications, 
etc.,  and  a  Comanche  alphabet,  kept  by  J.  F.  Mintner,  at  Fort 
Vancouver,  July-Oct,  1853. 

As  a  member  of  a  military  commission,  appointed  to  study 
the  operations  of  both  nrmies  in  the  Crimean  War,  McClellan 
was  sent  to  Europe  in  1855.  He  gathered  material  for  a  report 
which  was  afterward  published  by  Congress.  The  notes  on 
cavalry  instructions  and  tactics  are  particularly  full. 

The  interim  between  1857  and  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War 
is  illustrated  by  routine  business  letters  written  as  President 
of  the  St.  Louis,  Missouri  and  Cincinnati  R.  R.,  some  local 
Ohio  items,  and  by  letters  from  Winfield  Scott,  E.  D.  Townsend 
and  William  Dennison. 

The  early  years  of  the  Civil  War  furnish  the  largest  propor- 
tion of  papers  to  this  collection.  There  are  letters  of  Lincoln, 
Stanton,  Cameron,  McDowell,  Banks,  Buell,  Burnside,  Halleck, 
Marcy,  Barnard,  Ingalls,  Sumner,  Weeks,  Meade,  Tucker,  Van

Rush,  Amos  Kendall,  D.  W.  Voorhees,  Charles  M.  Swann,  H.  B. 
Whipple,  Hiram  Ketchum  and  George  Ticknor  Curtis.  These 
pertain,  for  the  most  part,  to  political  affairs. 

For  the  years  succeeding  the  Civil  War,  there  are  copies  of 
letters  written  by  INIcClellan  while  abroad,  letters  to  and  from 
Marcy  and  Grant ;  a  letter  from  the  Trustees,  offering  McClel- 
lan  the  Presidency  of  the  University  of  California,  and  a  simi- 
lar one  from  the  Trustees  of  Union  College ;  a  long  letter  from 
McClellan  to  Burnside  on  the  project  for  the  organization  of 
the  army;  manuscripts  regarding  the  Department  of  Docks  of 
New  York  City ;  the  Stevens  Battery ;  the  affairs  of  the  office 
of  the  Governor  of  New  Jersey ;  and  of  the  Board  of  Managers 
of  the  National  Home  for  Disabled  Soldiers.  Many  of  the  letters 
are  from  hig  friends,  G.  W.  Smith,  Fitz  John  Porter,  W.  B. 
Franklin,  W.  C.  Prime  and  R.  B.  Marcy.  Among  other  writers 
were  Nathaniel  B.  Shurtleff,  Augustus  Woodbury,  S.  P.  Heint- 
zelman, Allan  Pinkerton,  F.  S.  Blount,  Thomas  B.  Peddle  and 
Stephen  W.  Ticlienor.  There  are  a  number  of  extracts  of  let- 
ters of  Montgomery ;  and  numerous  letters  from  old  soldiers. 

McClellan's  notebooks  and  private  journals  are  intact  to  the 
year  of  his  death.  The  letter  books  cease  with  the  end  of  his 
active  military  service.  The  collection  contains  a  number  of 
miscellaneous  small  volumes  and  packets  of  papers,  some  of 
which  are  as  follows:  "Notes  on  the  Coast  of  the  U.  S.",  by 
A.  D.  Bache,  Superintendent  U.  S.  Survey,  June  and  October, 
1861,  2  packets ;  a  packet  of  Receipts,  Army  Returns,  etc. ;  2

Three  portfolios  of  correspondence,  deposited,  in  1913,  by  his 
daughter,  Mrs,  Louise  McCulloch  Yale,  of  Sparkill,  N.  Y.  Though 
the  earliest  letter  is  dated  1855,  the  collection  in  reality  begins 
in  1863,  at  the  time  he  entered  upon  his  duties  as  Comptroller 
of  the  Treasury  ;  and  the  succeeding  years  of  his  connection  with 
the  Treasury  Department  in  that  office,  and  later  as  Secretary 
are  recorded  in  these  letters.  After  1869,  there  are  but  few 
papers,  though  scattered  letters  as  late  as  1894  are  included. 

The  letters  to  McCulloch  far  outnumber  those  written  by  him, 
though  there  are  a  number  of  the  latter,  addressed  to  S.  P. 
Chase,  Morris  Ketchum,  J.  M.  Forbes,  Charles  Sumner,  Robert 
C.  Winthrop,  John  Sherman,  C.  B.  Farwell  and  others. 

The  subjects  of  finance,  currency,  the  reduction  of  the  national 
debt,  and  the  tariff,  form  the  contents  of  most  of  the  letters; 
other  matters,  however,  such  as  Reconstruction  issues,  and  the 
enfranchisement  of  negroes,  are  discussed.  There  are  several 
letters  regarding  the  assassination  of  President  Lincoln,  and  a 
letter  from  Mrs,  James  G.  Blaine,  written  after  a  visit  to  the 
bedside  of  President  Garfield,  shortly  before  his  death.  Many 
congratulatory  letters  are  included  in  the  papers  of  1865,  the 
year  of  McCulloch's  appointment  to  the  Cabinet,  and  numerous 
communications  from  the  President,  in  the  hand  of  his  secre- 
tary,  are  among  the  papers  of  the  succeeding  years. 

Correspondents  are  as  follows:  Edward  Atkinson,  F.  A.  P, 
Barnard,  Charles  Beecher,  John  Bigelow,  James  G.  Blaine. 
George  S,  Boutwell,  Francis  Bowen,  T.  R.  Butler,  S.  P.  Chase,

The  bulk  of  the  collection  lies  within  the  period  of  Mc-

DOROTHY  PAYNE  MADISON 

The  papers  of  Dolly  Madison  were  deposited  in  the  Smith- 
sonian Institution,  whence  they  were  transferred  to  the  Library 
of  Congress  in  1866.  In  1909  they  were  augmented  by  the  pur- 
chase of  some  900  miscellaneous  pieces. 

The  collection  covers  a  period  from  1800  to  1851.  The  papers 
deal  in  the  main  with  family  matters  pertaining  to  Mrs.  Madi- 
son's financial  transactions,  and  those  of  her  son,  John  Payne 
Todd.  There  are  a  few  papers  relating  to  the  settlement  of  the

Society,  in  1910.  To  tliese  were  added  a  few  papers  already  in 
the  Library.  The  two  groups  first  named  were  transferred  to 
the  Library  by  the  State  Department,  in  1905 ;  but  the  Depart- 
ment retained  Madison's  original  notes  of  debates  in  the  Fed- 
eral Convention  of  1787,  and  a  few  other  papers  of  that  period. 

The  whole  collection  is  in  105  bound  volumes.  Two  volumes

with  Madison's  Essays  in  it.  Five  volumes  are  of  printed  mat- 
ter, being  pamphlets,  circulars  and  broadsides  which  Madison 
collected.  The  papers  to  and  from  Madison  are  separated. 
Twelve  volumes  are  of  writings  of  Madison,  and  sixty-three 
volumes  of  the  writings  to  Madison.  The  letters  of  Madison

MARIANA  ISLANDS 

The  records  of  the  Island  of  Guam  were  received  by  transfer 
from  the  Navy  Department,  in  1903.  They  begin  with  the  year 
1762,  and  continue,  with  many  and  serious  gaps,  to  1899. 

The  earlier  records  were  in  bad  condition  when  received, 
due  to  damp  and  the  ravages  of  insects,  and  in  many  instances, 
disintegration  is  complete.  The  more  important  records  are 
as  follows:  1762,  Inquiry  into  the  Spaniards,  Mestizos  and  de- 
scendants, available  for  war  with  England,  if  the  Island  should 
be  invaded.  1768,  Court  Decisions,  one  volume.  1771,  Fees  for

of  papers  of  George  Mason  of  Gunston  Hall. 

In  all  there  are  twenty-four  pieces,  dating  from  1763  to  1791, 
the  most  important  being  an  early  committee  draft  of  the  Vir- 
ginia Bill  of  Rights.  One  of  the  earliest  papers  is  a  letter  ad- 
dressed "  To  the- Commit  tee  of  Merchants  in  London,"  signed  "A 
Virginia  Planter."  It  Is  dated  June  6,  1766.  Mason's  marriage 
agreement  with  Sarah  Brent  is  another  document.

and  John.  Several  others  are  to  Martin  Cockburn,  Roger  West, 
and  the  Virginia  Delegates  in  the  Continental  Congress.  Two  of 
the  letters,  both  addressed  to  his  son  George,  were  written  at

JAMES  MURRAY  MASON 

The  papers  of  James  Murray  Mason,  the  diplomatic  agent  of

by  the  Secretary  of  the  Agency.  The  London  Agency  records 
were  carefully  preserved  by  Mason,  and  brought  back  to  this 
country  upon  his  return.  At  his  death  they  passed  into  the 
hands  of  his  daughter. 

The  papers  extend  from  1838  to  1864;  the  despatch  book 
from  February  2.  1862,  to  May  1,  1865.  There  are  a  hundred 
letters  of  John  Slidell,  representative  of  the  Confederate  Gov-

MERCANTILE  ACCOUNTS,   MARYLAND   AND 
VIRGINIA 

One  hundred  and  eighty-one  volumes  of  ledgers,  journals,  in- 
voices,  day  books  and  cash  books  form  the  collection  known  as 
"Maryland  and  Virginia  Mercantile  Accounts." 

They  cover  the  period  from  1753  to  1834,  setting  forth  the 
transactions  of  several  large  firms,  which,  by  a  system  of  branch 
stores,  supplied  the  sections  on  both  banks  of  the  Potomac  River. 
The  first  of  these  firms  was  that  of  John  Glassford  &  Co.,  of 
Olasgof,' Scotland.  Neil  Jamieson  was  connected  with  it  They 
established  branch  stores  at  Quantico  and  Dumfries,  in  Prince 
William  County,  Virginia;  at  Colchester,  in  Fairfax  County, 
Virginia;  at  Leonardtown,  St.  Mary's  County,  Maryland;  at 
Newport,  Charles  County,  and  at  Bladensburg,  Prince  George's 
County,  Maryland.  Near  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  the 
firm  name  was  changed  to  Glassford  &  Henderson,  and  addi- 
tional stores  were  opened  at  Boyd's  Hole  and  Alexandria,  on 
the  Virginia  side,  and  Port  Tobacco,  Benedict,  Piscataway  and 
Nottingham,  in  Maryland.  About  1790,  Alexander  Henderson, 
Robert  Ferguson  and  John  Gibson,  trading  under  the  firm  name 
of  Henderson,  Ferguson  &  Gibson,  had  charge  of  most  of  these 
stores,  and  it  was  probably  at  this  time  that  the  trade  passed 
out  of  the  hands  of  the  Scotch  merchants  and  into  the  control  of 
local  owners.  The  store  at  Leonardtown,  however,  was,  in  1793, 
still  in  the  hands  of  Findlay,  Hopkins  &  Co.,  of  Glasgow. 

From  1800  to  1816,  approximately,  Vincent  &  Ferguson  carried 
on  the  bulk  of  the  business.  About  the  latter  year,  it  passed  to 
John  Edelen  and  William  Thompson,  acting  partners  of  Wil- 
liam Vincent,  John  Ferguson,  John  W.  Wills,  John  Edelen  and 
William  Thompson,  trading  under  the  name  of  Edelen,  Thomp- 
son &  Co.  Under  this  name  the  business  was  continued  to 
about  1834. 

There  are  no  books  for  the  years  1777  to  1784,  inclusive,  and 
in  other  places  the  set  is  badly  broken.  The  dates  lettered  on 
the  backs  of  the  volumes  are  often  misleading,  however,  and

MORSE 

SAMUEL  F.  B.  MORSE 

The  collection  dates  from  1793  to  1872.  Before  1805  there  are 
seven  juvenile  letters  of  Samuel  F.  B.  Morse  and  his  brother 
Edward  to  their  parents.  Most  of  the  letters  up  to  1814  are 
family  correspondence.  A  lar^e  part  of  the  entire  collection 
consists  of  letters  passing  between  the  various  members  of  the 
family,  especially  between  Samuel  F.  B.  Morse  and  his  parents. 
Tlie  period  spent  in  England  studying  painting  contains  a  few 
letters  from  Washington  AUston  and  many  from  Charles  R. 
Leslie.  Tlie  correspondence  with  the  latter  continues  through- 
out the  collection.  An  interesting  document  in  1821  is  a  list 
of  the  portraits  painted  by  Morse  and  the  amount^ ,  charg;ed 

The  telegraph  comes  in  evidence  in  1832.  Previous  to  this 
the  correspondence  is  with  Washington  Allston,  Thos,  S.  Grimke, 
Joseph  Story,  Stephen  Van  lienssalear,  Robert  Walsh,  Henry 
C.  Pratt,  Horatio  Greenough,  John  A.  Dix,  W.  B.  Sprague  and 
others.  There  are  several  letters  from  Lafayette  between  1832 
and  1834  and  an  interesting  series  of  typewritten  copies  of  let- 
ters from  Morse  to  J.  Fenimore  Cooper  in  1832-3.  Among  the 
papers  in  1823  is  Morse's  draft  of  his  caveat  which  he  filed  in 
the  Patent  Office  to  protect  his  patent  for  a  marble  carving  ma- 
chine and  letters  and  papers  relating  to  painting  and  the  af- 
fairs of  the  National  Academy  of  the  Arts  of  Design.  Among 
tlie  papers  of  1837  are  the  articles  of  agreement  between  Morse 
and  Alfred  Vail  for  the  construction  of  a  demonstration  tele- 
graph line  to  be  exhibited  before  a  committee  of  Congress. 

From  1840  the  papers  deal  with  the  telegraph,  though  the 
family  and  art  letters  are  still  many.  The  original  articles  of 
agreement  between  Morse,  F.  O.  J.  Smith,  Alfred  Vail  and 
Leonard  D.  Gale  for  securing  foreign  patent  rights  on  the  tele- 
graph are  among  the  papers,  as  is  the  correspondence  concern- 
ing the  struggle  for  recognition  and  pi'otection  in  Europe  with 
drawings  of  instruments  submitted  in  connection  with  patent 
rights  in  France.  There  is  a  copy  of  the  specifications  and 
drawings  of  the  U.  S.  patent  of  1840  and  a  small  group  of

papers  of  tliat  year  relating  to  the  Daguerreotype  controversy 
with  F.  Gouraud. 

In  the  collection  are  diaries,  diplomas  and  certificates  of 
honors  conferred  on  Morse,  letter  books,  many  newspaper  clip- 
pings, some  pamphlets  and  other  printed  material  relating  to  the 
telegraph.  There  are  a  number  of  bills,  vouchers,  estimates  and 
reports  of  the  expenses  of  the  early  Electo-Magnetic  Telegraph 
Company.  The  collection  was  a  gift  in  1916  of  Edward  Lind 
Morse,  of  Stoclsbridge,  Mass.

LOUISE  CHANDLER  MOULTON  COLLECTION 

Shortly  after  IVIrs.  IVIoulton's  death  in  1908  her  books  and 
papers  were  classified  by  her  friend,  Prof.  Arlo  Bates.  The 
books  were  sent  to  the  Boston  Public  Library,  the  manuscripts 
and  a  large  collection  of  autographed  photographs  to  the 
Library  of  Congress  as  a  gift  from  Mrs.  Moulton's  daughter, 
Mrs.  Florence  Moulton  Schaeffer,  of  Boston,  Mass. 

Use  of  the  collection  was  restricted  until  the  biographical 
sketch  of  Mrs.  Moulton  by  Miss  Lilian  Whiting  should  be  pub-

lished.  This  appeared  in  1910,  and  the  collection  is  now  open 
to  students  and  investigators  under  the  rules  of  the  Manuscript 
Division. 

The  collection  has  been  mounted  and  bound  in  fifty  volumes 
and  arranged  in  alphabetical  order.  It  extends  over  Mrs. 
Moulton's  entire  literary  career, — a  period  of  almost  sixty 
years.  During  thirty  of  these  years  she  was  in  personal  con- 
tact with  the  principal  literary  figures  on  both  sides  of  the 
Atlantic. 

Robert  Browning  was  a  friend  of  Mrs.  Moulton  and  there 
are  three  characteristic  letters  from  him,  the  earliest  dated 
February  24,  1878 ;  there  is  one  from  George  Eliot,  also  of  that 
year;  one  from  Tennyson;  several  from  Whittier,  Walt  Whit- 
man, and  Horace  Greeley ;  a  number  from  George  Meredith, 
Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  Edmund  Clarence  Stedman,  Richard 
Watson  Gilder,  Paul  H.  Hayne,  and  many  others. 

Philip  Bourke  Marston,  the  English  poet,  was  a  devoted 
friend  of  Mrs.  Moulton,  and  left  his  papers  to  her  at  his  death 
in  1887.  These  constitute  a  part  of  the  collection  and  are  sepa- 
rately bound  in  two  volumes.  Marston  carried  on  a  constant 
correspondence  with  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti,  and  there  are  in 
these  two  volumes  letters  of  Swinburne,  Elizabeth  Barrett 
Browning,  and  others  of  similar  note.

PHYSICK  FAMILY  ACCOUNT  BOOKS 

Thirty-five  volumes  of  account  and  receipt  books,  1766-1843, 
purchased  in  1914. 

The  earliest  books  are  those  of  Edmund  Physick,  who,  after 
the  Revolution,  was  agent  of  the  Penn  family  estates.  A  small 
volume  contains  receipts  and  memoranda  made  during  a  visit 
to  London  in  1789,  in  which  are  set  forth  his  dealings  with  the 
Penns,  and  his  payments  for  medical  lectures  attended  by  his 
son  Philip  Syng  Physick,  who  later  became  a  distinguished 
Philadelphia  surgeon  and  has  been  called  "  The  Father  of 
American  Surgery."  Additional  entries  were  made  in  the  same 
books,  in  Philadelphia  to  1795. 

Many  of  the  volumes  were  used  in  connection  with  the  settle- 
ment of  estates,  that  of  James  Bremner,  which  was  in  the 
hands  of  Edmund  Physick,  being  the  earliest.  Other  estates 
were  those  of  Philip  Syng,  of  Philadelphia,  1789-94;  Edmund

as  agent  for  the  Mexican  International  Railroad.

from  Havana  to  Hamilton  Fish  on  Cuban  affairs.  A  diary  of 
a  voyage  from  New  York  to  Rio  de  Janeiro,  and  thence  to 
San  Francisco,  by  way  of  Cape  Horn,  March  3  to  November

letter  to  A.  H.  Plumb  on  the  Independence  of  the  Pacific  Ter- 
ritories, dated  April  29,  1855.  Comparatively  few  of  the 
papers,  however,  are  earlier  than  1861.  Beginning  with  that 
year,  there  are  copies  of  many  letters  written  by  Plumb  re- 
garding Mexican  affairs,  and  a  few  copies  of  financial  state- 
ments and  other  papers.  Letters  of  Robert  Grant  and  C.  Len-

1877,  on  the  political  situation  and  events  in  Mexico,  and  the 
policy  to  be  adopted  by  the  United  States  toward  Diaz  and

to  and  by  William  Plumer  and  transcribed  for  his  Amusement 
and  Instruction."  It  contains  cop.'  js  of  177  letters,  from  Janu-

remaining  six  letter  books  are  loosely  stitched  together  in  paper 
covers.  They  are  labeled  Vols.  Ill,  IV,  VI,  VIII,  9  and  10.  In 
spite  of  the  apparent  gaps  and  missing  volumes,  they  completely 
cover  the  period  from  1791  to  1833.  In  all,  they  contain  about 
1400  letters.  Plumer's  correspondence  from  Washington  is  volu- 
minous. Much  information  relating  to  State  legislation  and  to 
Dartmouth  College  also  is  in  the  letters.  There  are  many  letters

Other  correspondents  were:  William  Page,  Peleg  Sprague,  Wil- 
liam Gordon,  Oliver  Wolcott,  Abiel  Poster,  Oliver  Peabody, 
Jeremiah  Mason,  Calvin  Goddard,  James  Sheafe,  John  Langdon,

Repository  "  contain  copies  of  letters  and  extracts  from  records, 
dating  from  1774  to  1814.  A  folio  volume  marked  "  The  Regis- 
ter "  is  a  carefully  kept  journal,  extending  from  May  1,  1807, 
to  April  8,  1836,  in  which  Plumer  has  entered  his  personal  opin- 
ions upon  current  events,  and  notes  and  comments  upon  matters 
that  came  under  his  observation  in  his  daily  reading.  Two 
additional  volumes  contain  his  collected  essays  and  writings 
from  1782  to  1838.    Many  of  these  were  published  in  the  news-

Congress  I "  contains  a  "  Memorandum  of  the  Proceedings  of 
Congress,  particularly  of  the  Senate,  from  October  17,  1803,  to 
March  27,  1804,"  which  is  practically  a  record  of  the  debates 
in  the  Senate  for  that  period;  another  quarto  volume  lettered 
"  Plumer's  Register  I "  contains  a  similar  record  from  May  2, 
1805,  to  April  21,  1807.  All  of  these  manuscripts,  with  the

EDMUND  ROBERTS 

The  first  American  diplomatist  in  tlie  Orient  was  Edmund 
Roberts,  wliose  letters  and  papers  are  preserved  in  this  collec- 
tion. They  were  given  to  the  Library,  in  1914.  by  the  estate  of 
Mrs.  J.  V.  L.  Pruyn,  through  Colonel  William  G.  Rice,  of  Albany, 
N.  Y.  . 

There  are  five  portfolios  of  papers,  and  five  bound  journals  of 
sea  voyages  and  similar  items.  The  earliest  of  these  journals 
is  dated  July,  1804,  and  contains  notes  and  observations  of  a 
voyage  taken  by  Roberts  from  Rio  de  la  Plata  to  London  in 
that  year.  The  second  journal  is  of  a  voyage  taken  during  the 
following  year,  from  London  to  Madeira,  Tall  Trees  and  Rio 
de  la  Plata.  This  journal  contains  only  a  few  pages,  and  the 
entries  are  technical.  A  third  journal  was  kept  by  Roberts  on 
board  the  U.  S.  Ship  of  War  Peacock,  in  1832,  1833  and  1834. 
It  relates  to  nautical  matters. 

Nearly  all  of  the  letters  in  the  collection  are  for  the  years 
1829-1836. 

The  papers  directly  pertaining  to  the  treaties  and  the  nego- 
tiations are  copies  of  Roberts's  instructions  from  the  State 
Department ;  copies  and  drafts  of  the  treaties ;  and  letters  and 
memoranda  written  during  the  actual  negotiations.  There  are 
notes  aand  memoranda  made  by  Roberts  for  his  book,  "  Embassy 
to  the  Eastern  Courts,"  which  was  published  after  his  death ; 
also,  numerous  charts  and  pencil  drawings. 

Among  papers  relating  to  commerce  and  trade  are  several 
Prices  current  from  Manila  and  Muscat;  a  Return  of  Exports 
from  Ceylon,  1825  to  1834;  a  table  showing  the  State  of  Com- 
merce in  Rio  de  Janeiro  in  1833;  and  a  number  of  letters  re- 
garding trade  conditions. 

The  letter  of  William  Rogers  Taylor  to  Roberts  regarding  the 
disaster  to  the  Peacock,  stranded  on  the  coast  of  Arabia,  is 
separately  bound. 

The  correspondence  comprises  letters  to  and  from  the  De- 
partment of  State;  from  consuls  at  various  points;  from  ac- 
quaintances at  Rio  de  Janeiro;  and  of  Edmund  Roberts  to  his

CHARLES  SIMMS 

The  papers  of  Colonel  Charles  Simms,  of  Virginia,  Major  and 
Lieutenant  Colonel  in  the  Revolutionary  Army,  and,  later  an 
attorney  at  law  and  Mayor  of  Alexandria  when  it  fell  into  the 
hands  of  the  British,  in  1814.  He  was  also  President  of  the 
Potomac  and  Shenandoah  Company  for  a  number  of  years. 

The  collection  is  in  eight  portfolios.  The  papers  commence 
with  the  year  1765,  though  there  is  one  paper — a  grant  of  land 
in  Prince  William  County,  from  Lord  Fairfax  to  James  Carter — 
dated  1731.    The  last  papers  are  of  1820. 

Before  the  Revolution  he  made  a  trip  to  the  Ohio,  and,  in 
connection  with  John  Nevill  and  John  Harvie,  took  up  land  on 
one  of  the  islands  in  that  river.  The  litigation  which  followed 
furnished  many  of  the  papers  which  compose  the  collection. 

In  1776,  he  was  commissioned  as  Major  in  the  12th  Virginia 
Regiment,  and  served  until  December,  1779,  when  he  returned 
to  Virginia,  where  he  married  Nancy,  daughter  of  William 
Douglas.  Many  of  his  letters  are  to  her,  written  from  camp  in 
1777  and  1778,  and  contain  descriptions  of  battles  and  camp  life. 

Legal  papers  form  a  large  part  of  the  collection,  after  the 
Revolution.  There  are  many  papers  pertaining  to  the  affairs 
of  the  Potomac  Company,  and  regarding  the  establishment  of 
the  District  of  Columbia.  There  are  also  papers  relating  to 
bank  transactions,  from  1797  to  1816. 

The  letters   of  Simms  to  his  wife  during  August  and   Sep- 
tember, 1814,  give  full  accounts  of  the  capture  of  the  tow^  by   . 
the  British  troops,  and  of  the  movements  of  the  armies  around 
Alexandria  and  W^ashington. 

There  are  fifty  letters  of  Leven  Powell,  from  Congress  at 
Philadelphia,  in  1800;  and  letters  and  articles  of  Thomas  Law,

THADDEUS  STEVENS  ,-;    .n.v, 

With  the  papers  of  Edward  McPherson,  purchased  in  1907, 
came  a  number  of  letters  and  papers  of  Thaddeus  Stevens. 
They  have  been  arranged  chronologically,  in  twelve  packages. 
They  extend  from  1829  to  1868, 

There  is  one  package  of  speeches,  some  drafts  of  resolutions 
and  some  memoranda.  The  greater  part  of  the  collection  con- 
sists of  correspondence.  A  number  of  the  earlier  letters  are 
from  members  of  his  family.  Those  of  later  date  deal  with 
political  affairs  and  the  course  of  the  war.  There  are  let- 
ters on  military  subjects,  the  manuscript  of  his  speech  made 
at  Cooper  Institute,  September  27,  1860;  a  threatening  letter 
from  the  Ku  Klux  Klan,  dated  New  Orleans,  14  April,  1868; 
the  offer  to  the  United  States  of  Johanna,  one  of  the  Comoro 
Islands,  by  Abdallah,  Sultan  of  the  Island,  in  1867;  letters 
from  the 'Southern  states-  after  1864.  , 

Some  of  the  correspondents  were:  Winfield  Scott,  J.  C.  Fre- 
mont, Salmon  P.  Chase,  Dudley  Selden,  William  Nesbit,  William 
B.  Reed,  Henry  Goddard,  W.  M.  Dent,  Lewis  Merrill,  F.  A. 
Dockray,  Charles  S.  Spencer  and  Horace  Greeley. 

STEVENS  FACSIMILES 

B.  F.  Stevens's  facsimiles  of  manuscripts  in  European  ar- 
chives relating  to  America,  1773-1783 ;  with  descriptions,  editor hil 
notes,  collations,  references  and  translations.  24  portfolios, 
containing  facsimiles  of  2,107  documents,  and  an  index  volume. 

This  is  one  of  the  two  hundred  sets  of  the  limited  edition, 
published  by  Mr.  Stevens,  between  1889  and  1898,  and  was  pur- 
chased from  him  in  the  latter  year. 

Stevens  states  that  the  facsimiles  are  almost  wholly  of  un- 
published manuscripts.  "  None  of  the  10,928  pages  of  my  Peace 
Transcripts  *  *  *  have  been  repeated  here.  Nor  have  I 
given  here  any  of  the  letters  printed  in  my  Clinton-Cornwallis 
controversy.  The  papers  that  have  been  photographed  are  pre- 
served in  the  various  archives — The  Public  Record  Office  of  Eng-

land,  the  Royal  Institution,  the  Tower  of  London,  and  the  Bu- 
reau des  Affaires  Etrangeres  in  Paris ;  or  in  private  col- 
lections of  manuscripts,  as  those  of  the  Marquess  of  Aber- 
gavenny, the  Earl  of  Carlisle  (just  calendared  by  the  Historical 
Manuscripts  Commission),  the  Earl  of  Dartmouth,  Lord  Auck- 
land (since  acquired  by  the  British  Museum),  and  a  few  in  my 
own  possession." 

The  documents  facsimiled  for  1773  are  only  5;2  for  1774; 
very  few  for  1782  and  1788,  and  few  for  1781 ;  the  great  bulk 
being  for  1777,  1778  and  1779. 

The  facsimiles  are  of  the  secret  correspondence  of  the  British 
Government  with  its  political  agents,  relative  to  the  colonies; 
of  the  Royal  and  Parliamentary  Commission  of  1778,  and  the 
Conciliatory  bills ;  a  series  of  Silas  Deane's  letters  and  memoirs 
to  the  French  Government;  letters  of  Dubourg,  Beaumarchais, 
Gerard  and  Vergennes;  private  letters  of  the  Loyalist  Judge 
William  Smith  to  William  Eden ;  Sir  Henry  Clinton's  letters  to 
Eden;  papers  relative  to  the  Capture  and  Imprisonment  of 
Henry  Laurens ;  correspondence  of  Lord  Stormont ;  papers  bear- 
ing on  Arthur  Lee  and  Stephen  Sayre  at  Berlin ;  unofficial  cor- 
respondence of  Lafayette  with  Vergennes ;  papers  relative  to  the 
siege  of  Savannah  in  1779 ;  and  the  correspondence  of  Ambrose 
Serle. 

The  documents  are  neither  in  chronological  nor  subjective 
order ;  but  the  index  gives  the  numerical  position  of  each  docur. 
ment,  with  dates,  an  alphabetical  arrangement  by  writers  and 
receivers,  and  also  subject  entries. 

STEVENS  INDEX 

In  1906,  the  Library  obtained,  by  purchase,  the  Benjamin 
Franklin  Stevens  Catalogue  Index  of  Manuscripts  in  the  Arch- 
ives of  England,  France,  Holland  and  Spain,  relating  to

arrangement  in  the  original  archives ;  second,  in  the  "  Chrono- 
logical Index",  which  contains  the  titles  rearranged  in  one 
chronological  order,  with  a  brief  abstract  of  the  contents  of 
each  document ;  and  third,  in  the  "  Alphabetical  Index ",  in

names  of  writers  and  receivers,  or  according  to  the  subject  mat- 
ter if  no  writer  or  receiver  is  named  in  the  document. 

In  the  Catalogue,  which  consists  of  50  folio  volumes,  each 
document  is  entered  by  a  short  title  with  date,  place  of  address, 
name  of  writer  and  addressee  or  other  brief  heading,  description 
of  document,  approximate  length,  and  the  reference  to  its  loca- 
tion by  number  of  volume  and  folio.  In  the  "Chronological 
Index  ",  comprising  100  folio  volumes,  each  title  is  followed  by 
an  abstract  of  its  contents,  together  with  the  indorsements  and 
a  list  of  all  enclosures  or  covering  letters.  The  various  duplicates, 
copies  or  extracts  of  the  same  letter  or  paper  are  also  noted, 
and  to  a  limited  extent  references  to  printed  works  where  the 
document  may  be  found,  or  to  the  "  Peace  Transcripts ",  the 
"  French  Alliance  Transcripts  ",  or  the  "  Stevens  Facsimiles  ", 
in  case  the  document  has  been  there  reproduced.  The  "Alpha- 
betical Index  ",  30  folio  volumes,  repeats,  in  alphabetical  order, 
the  information  contained  in  the  Catalogue.

ANDREW  AND  JOHN  WHITE   STEVENSON 

The  papers  of  Andrew  Stevenson  and  John  White  Stevenson 
were  deposited  in  the  Library,  in  1910,  by  Mrs.  Mary  W.  Steven- 
son Colston,  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  Mrs.  Colston  is  a  daughter  of 
John  White  Stevenson  and  a  granddaughter  of  Andrew  Steven- 
son. The  papers  have  been  mounted  and  bound  in  thirty-five 
volumes.  The  first  twenty-six  of  them,  covering  the  years 
1810  to  1859,  contain  the  papers  of  Andrew  Stevenson,  who 
was  a  Representative  in  Congress  from  Virginia  from  1823  to 
1834,  and  Speaker  of  the  House  from  1827  to  1834.  From  1836 
to  1841  he  was  Minister  to  England.  The  collection  consists 
almost  entirely  of  correspondence.  The  majority  of  the  letters 
were  addressed  to  him  while  he  was  a  resident  in  London ;  the 
earlier  correspondence  refers  to  law  suits  in  the  Virginia  courts, 
and  the  activities  of  Congress  during  and  preceding  the  time

he  M^as  Speaker.  From  1826  to  1830  there  is  a  gap  in  the 
papers. 

The  correspondents  are:  Edmund  Harrison,  Philip  Norborne 
Nicholas,  John  Blair,  Thomas  Ritchie,  J.  D.  Elliott,  George 
Tucker,  John  Forsyth,  Lewis  Cass  and  Roger  B.  Taney. 

The  London  correspondence  deals  with  the  affairs  of  the 
Mission,  and  social  affairs.    Benjamin  Rush  was  his  secretary. 

There  is  an  autograph  poem  of  Wordsworth ;  an  unpublished 
poem  of  Tom  Moore;  and  a  letter  of  Robert  Southey  to  John 
Kenyon,  29  Jan.,  1827,  transmitting  verses  27  to  46  as  a  con- 
clusion to  his  poem,  "  The  Devil's  Visit  ". 

There  are  letters  from  Sir  Robert  Chester,  Lord  Duncannon, 
the  Duchess  of  Sutherland,  the  Earl  of  Minto,  Lord  Palmerston, 
the  Earl  of  Durham,  Thomas  Sully,  AUyne  Otis,  Martin  Van 
Buren,  C.  C.  Biddle,  Theodore  Sedgwick,  Alexander  Van  Rens- 
selaer, C.  G.  Gambreleng,  W.  G.  Rives,  James  Buchanan,  James 
K.  Polk,  J.  G.  Calhoun,  Francis  Scott  Key,  James  Hamilton, 
John  E.  Wool  and  Charles  Sumner. 

The  last  nine  volumes  of  the  collection  contain  the  papers  of 
John  White  Stevenson.  They  date  from  1849  to  1882.  He  was 
a  Representative  in  Congress  from  Kentucky,  1857  to  1861,  a 
delegate  to  the  Philadelphia  Union  Convention  of  1866,  Gov- 
ernor of  Kentucky  from  1867  to  1871.  He  then  entered  the 
United  States  Senate,  serving  for  one  term. 

Included  in  the  correspondence  are  letters  of  John  G.  Ruther- 
ford, C.  M.  Ingersoll,  Richard  Vaux,  John  C.  Breckinridge,  John 
G.  Carlisle,  Leslie  Combs  and  Thomas  C.  Stevenson. 

Owing  to  the  recent  date  of  many  of  the  letters,  and  the  fact 
that  some  of  the  writers  are  still  alive,  this  correspondence  is 
not  open  to  unrestricted  examination.

There  are  several  fee  and  account  books  kept  by  physicians, 
among  them  a  folio  ledger  for  the  years  1802  and  1803,  probably 
kept  jointly  by  Dr.  James  Craik  and  Dr.  William  Washington, 
of  Alexandria,  Virginia,  showing  services  performed  and  fees 
charged,  in  the  course  of  their  extensive  practice. 

The  volumes  of  transcripts  of  Washington  Papers  form  an 
important  part  of  the  collection.  In  addition  to  the  copies  of 
the  Washington  diaries,  are  volumes  of  memoranda,  personal 
account  books  and  those  of  the  Mount  Vernon  estate,  from  the 
year  1747,  with  lists  of  his  slaves  and  servants,  his  memoranda 
of  surveys,  etc. ;  copies  and  abstracts  of  wills  of  various  members 
of  the  Washington  family,  and  appraisements  and  inventories 
of  their  estates;  correspondence  from  relatives  and  others.  As 
before  stated,  most  of  the  material  was  copied  from  the  col- 
lection in  the  Department  of  State  [now  in  the  Manuscript  Divi- 
sion of  the  Library  of  Congress]  but  a  portion  came  from  other 
sources,  among  them  the  collection  of  Joseph  Henry  Dubbs,  D.  D., 
from  which  transcripts  were  made  of  the  accounts  of  Colonel 
William  A.  Washington  with  Mrs.  Martha  Washington,  and 
letters  addressed  to  Colonel  William  A.  Washington,  Robert 
Beverley  and  others,  by  Bushrod  Washington  and  Lawrence 
Washington,  1802-1834.  Also  a  letter  of  George  W.  P.  Custis 
to  Anthony  Kiswell,  1850,  regarding  Washington's  compass.  A 
copy  of  Washington's  Orders  at  Valley  Forge,  May  18  to  June 
11,  1778,  from  the  original  orderly  book  of  Gen.  Knox  in  the 
handwriting  of  Major  Samuel  Shaw,  in  the  Boston  Athenaeum, 
is  included.  Many  of  these  volumes  of  transcripts  bear  com- 
plete indexes. 

There  is  much  material  of  a  miscellaneous  nature  in  the  col- 
lection. The  more  important  bound  volumes  of  this  kind  are

TRANSCRIPTS  FROM  FOREIGN  ARCHIVES 

British  Transcripts: 

In  1905  the  Library  undertook  to  procure  transcripts  of  rec- 
ords existing  in  European  archives  which  relate  to  the  early 
history  of  the  United  States.  The  work  was  begun  in  the 
British  archives,  by  obtaining  transcripts  from  records  in  the 
British  Museum  and  the  Public  Record  Office  in  London,  and 
the  Bodleian  Library  at  Oxford.  The  papers  were  selected 
chiefly  by  Professor  Charles  M.  Andrews,  now  of  Yale  Uni- 
versity. 

Since  beginning  the  work  a  list  of  the  transcripts  received 
each  year  has  been  published  in  the  annual  report  of  the  Li- 
brarian of  Congress.  The  Andrews  and  Davenport  "  Guide  to 
the  Manuscript  Materials  for  the  History  of  the  United  States 
to  1783,  in  the  British  Museum,  in  Minor  London  Archives,  and 
in  the  Libraries  of  Oxford  and  Cambridge,"  Washington,  D.  C, 
1908,  contains  a  list  of  the  documents  which,  prior  to  that  year, 
had  been  transcribed  from  those  sources  for  the  Library.  The 
"  Guide  to  the  Materials  for  American  History  Prior  to  1783, 
in  the  Public  Record  Office  of  Great  Britain,  by  C.  M.  Andrews, 
in  two  volumes,  Washington,  D.  C,  1912  and  1914,  contains 
similar  lists ;  but  much  material  has  since  been  added,  and  the 
selection  has  not  been  confined  to  the  contents  of  these  volumes. 

The  sources  from  which  transcripts  have  been  drawn  are  as 
follows : 

I.  Oxford,  The  Bodleian  Library;  Ashmolean,  Clarendon, 
Rawlinson  and  Tanner  collections. 

II.  British  Museum ;  Cottonian,  Egerton,  Hargrave,  Harleian, 
King's,  Lansdowne,  Sloane  and  Stowe  collections;  Additional 
Charters;  and  Additional  Manuscripts,  including  Hardwicke, 
Hyde,  Mitchell  and  Newcastle  Papers.

the  English  posts  on  the  Mississippi,  of  Mobile  and  of  Pensacola. 
There  are  author  cards  for  this  material. 

French  Transcripts: 

The  work  of  systematically  obtaining  transcripts  from  official 
manuscripts  in  the  archives  of  the  French  government,  relating 
to  the  history  of  colonial  America,  was  entered  upon,  in  1913, 
under  the  immediate  supervision  of  Mr.  Waldo  G.  Leland,  of 
the  Carnegie  Institution  of  Washington. 

The  transcripts  thus  far  received  are  chiefly  from  the 
Archives  Nationales,  Paris,  Colonies  Series  C^^  A;  selections 
from  volumes  1  to  46,  inclusive,  covering  dates  from  1686  tb 
1766. 

This  series  consists  mainly  of  letters,  memoires  and  reports 
on  various  matters,  from  the  governors  and  other  high  officials 
in  Louisiana,  to  the  Compagnie  des  Indes,  to  Antoine  Crozat, 
and  to  others  in  France  in  charge  of  colonial  affairs,  from  the 
founding  of  the  colony  to  its  cession  to  England  and  Spain. 
The  letters  relate  to  all  matters  of  administration,  to  settle- 
ment, boundaries  and  fortifications,  to  provisions  and  munitions, 
to  Indian  affairs  and  missions,  to  the  natural  products  of  the 
country  and  the  exports  and  imports,  to  the  character  of  the 
colonists  sent  from  France  and  Canada,  and  to  the  disagree- 
ments and  struggles  for  precedence  among  colonial  officials. 

Among  the  writers  of  the  letters  are  Pierre  Le  Moyne,  Sieur 
d'Iberville,  and  his  brother,  Jean-Baptiste  Le  Moyne,  Sieur 
de  Bienville  II,  better  known  as  Iberville  and  Bienville; 
Nicholas  de  la  Salle ;  Diron  d'Artaguiette ;  Philippe  de  Marigny

Britain,  and  dating  from  March  22,  1782,  to  May  25,  1784. 
This  work  was  first  undertaken  in  the  centennial  year  of  that 
event,  by  the  direction  of  the  then  Secretary  of  State,  William 
M.  Evarts,  and  waS  carried  on  for  a  time  by  Mr.  Theodore  M. 
Dwight,  who  relinquished  it  in  its  early  stages,  before  the 
actual  work  of  copying  was  begun,  to  Mr.  Benjamin  Franklin 
Stevens,  who  carried  it  to  con^)letion. 

The  Transcripts  are  taken  from  the  Shelburne  Manuscripts ;

UNITED  STATES  REVOLUTION 

"American  Manuscripts.  Revolution.  1779."  One  volume  of 
transcripts.  It  was  probably  acquired  from  a  sale  of  the  papers 
of  Thomas  Aspinwall,  at  Boston,  in  1879.     It  consists  of : 

Instructions  from  the  War  Office  to  Sir  Henry 'Clinton  re  mili- 
tary affairs;  correspondence  of  Sir  Henry  Clinton  with  Lord 
Amherst,  Lord  George  Germain,  and  Charles  Jenkinson,  His 
Majesty's  Secretary  at  War ;  also  with  General  Washington,  con- 
cerning flags  and  exchange  of  prisoners,  of  Sir  Guy  Carleton 
and  Lord  Robert  Bertie,  and  of  Sir  Henry  Clinton  and  General 
Haldimand— all  In  1779. 

Miscellany :  Nine  bound  volumes  of  papers,  of  a  highly  mis- 
cellaneous character,  but  all  relating  to  the  Revolution,  1775- 
1783.  They  were  acquired  from  many  different  sources — chiefly, 
however,  from  the  Peter  Force  purchase  in  1867 — and  were  in 
the  Library  when  the  Manuscript  Division  was  organized.  The 
first  seven  volumes  comprise  private  and  official  letters,  reports, 
returns,  pay  rolls,  enlistment  sheets  and  papers  relating  to 
claims.  Volumes  8  and  9  are  chiefly  composed  of  returns  and 
lists  of  Hessian  prisoners  confined  at  Lancaster,  Pa.,  many  of 
the  lists  being  prepared  by  the  German  officers.  With  them  are 
complaints  of  ill-treatment,  letters  of  protest,  and  others  per- 
taining to  the  management  of  prisoners  of  war.  Some  of  the 
papers  are  Continental  Congress  papers;  some  are  transcripts 
made  by  Peter  Force. 

Examples:  Letter  of  Franklin,  Bollan  and  Lee,  February  5, 

1775,  relative  to  the  petition  to  the  King ;  list  of  the  troops  in 
Boston,  1775;  Gage's  answer  to  Trumbull,  May  2,  1775  (copy)  ;

GEORGE  WASHINGTON 

The  Washington  papers  were  purchased  from  the  Washington 
family  in  two  separate  lots,  by-  the  Acts  of  June  30,  1834,  and 
March  3,  1849,  and  deposited  in  the  Department  of  State.  They 
were  transferred  to  the  Library  from  the  State  Department  by 
Executive  Order  of  March  9,  1903,  under  authority  of  the  Act  of 
February  23,  1903,  and  combined  with  the  Washington  papers 
already  in  the  Library,  acquired  with  the  Force  purchase.  The 
papers  have  been  carefully  repaired  and  when  bound  will  fill  302 
royal  folio  volumes,  besides  about  100  volumes  of  letter  copy- 
books, diaries  and  account  books  in  their  original  bindings. 

The  papers  were  first  arranged  in  1780,  by  Richard  Varick, 
Washington's  Recording  Secretary.  He  caused  to  be  copied  the 
letters  written  by  Washington,  the  proceedings  of  the  councils 
of  war  and  the  general  orders  of  the  Commander  in  Chief,  from 
July  3,  1775,  to  December  31,  1782.  These  copies,  in  44  folio 
volumes,  are  known  as  the  "  Varick  Transcripts."  The  original 
drafts  from  which  the  copies  were  made  were  tied  up  with  the 
unarranged  letters  received  by  Washington,  packed  in  chests, 
and,  with  the  volumes  of  transcripts,  carted  to  Mt.  Vernon  at  the 
close  of  the  war.  They  were  added  to,  at  the  close  of  Washing- 
ton's administrMtion  as  President,  by  various  letter-book  records 
and  miscellaneous  loose  files  of  political  business,  and  a  mass 
of  documents  growing  out  of  the  military  activities  in  raising 
and  ofl[icering  the  provisional  army  in  1798  and  1799.  A  portion 
of  them,  which  in  later  years  was  stored  in  a  warehouse  in 
Alexandria,  was  destroyed  by  fire.  '■' 

After  the  papers  came  into  possession  of  the  Government,  the 
drafts  of  Wasliington's  letters  were  bound  up,  as  classified  by

Varick,  under  the  direction  of  Jared  Sparks.  He  made  an 
alphabetical  index,  which  furnishes  a  working  basis  of  consulta- 
tion of  the  larger  part  of  the  letters  received.  In  the  general 
series  of  letters  to  Washington  were  grouped  the  army  returns 
and  muster  rolls  of  the  Continental  forces,  forming  Nos.  99-108 
inclusive  of  the  collection,  and  amounting  to  37  volumes  as  ar- 
ranged by  Peter  Force  in  1834.  These  were  transferred  by  the 
State  Department  to  the  Adjutant  General  of  the  Army  in  the 
War  Department,  and  are  still  in  the  custody  of  that  department. 

Although  arranged  in  strict  chronological  order  the  papers 
naturally  group  themselves  under  three  heads.— the  military, 
political,  and  (the  largest)  the  personal  and  private  papers.  The 
personal  papers  begin  with  the  earliest  writings  of  Washington, 
at  the  age  of  twelve,  and  end  with  the  diary  entry  of  December 
13,  1799.  The  early  papers  are  school  exercises,  copies  of  busi- 
ness forms,  rules  of  etiquette,  mathematical  problems,  survey 
notes,  etc.  The  financial  and  personal  business  papers  begin 
about  1750,  and  are  full  as  to  accounts,  expenditures,  credits,  in- 
voices of  goods  ordered  from  England,  tobacco  and  weaving  ac- 
counts of  the  Mt.  Vernon  estate,  cash  memorandum  books,  the 
poll  list  of  Frederick  County  and  the  vestry  lists  of  Fairfax  and 
Truro,  lists  of  tithables,  etc. 

The  diaries  begin  with  the  journey  across  the  western  moun- 
tains in  1747,  and,  with  some  gaps,  come  dow^n  to  the  date  of  his 
appointment  as  Commander  in  Chief  in  1775.  It  appears  that 
no  diary  was  kept  during  the  war  and  an  attempt  commenced  in 
May,  1781,  was  abandoned  in  November  of  that  year.  The  diary 
record  is  resumed  again  in  1784.  The  total  number  of  original 
Washington  diaries  in  the  possession  of  the  Government  is  36 
and  the  last  one  ends  with  the  entry,  which  is  presumed  to  be 
his  last  writing,  of  Dec.  13,  1799. 

The  letter  books,  drafts  of  letters  and  miscellany  of  a  personal 

character  were  discontinued  in  June,  1775,  resumed  in  1784,  and 

continue,  with  some  gaps,  through  the  year  1799.     From  1789  to 

1797  the  personal  correspondence  is  less  than  for  other  periods.

WASHINGTON 

From  1794  to  the  end  the  letter  book  record  is  supplemented  and 
often  duplicated  by  the  press  copies,  of  which  there  are  many. 

There  is  much  correspondence,  during  his  administration  as 
IM'csident,  with  managers  and  overseers,  relative  to  the  Mt. 
Vernon  estate;  but  a  part  of  the  official  correspondence  of  this 
period  is  still  in  the  Department  of  State  by  virtue  of  its  charac- 
ter of  an  official  administrative  record. 

The  military  group  begins  with  the  French  and  Indian  War, 
the  Braddock  expedition,  orders,  letters,  instructions,  muster 
rolls,  returns,  financial  accounts  of  the  Virginia  militia  forces, 
etc.,  down  to  and  through  the  year  1758. 

The  Revolutionary  group  begins  with  the  speech  to  Congress, 
June  16,  1775,  accepting  command  of  the  army,  and  ends  w^ith 
the  speech  at  Annapolis,  December  23,  1783,  when  he  resigned 
his  commission.  There  are  lists  of  discharged  officers,  proceed- 
ings of  boards  of  officers,  negotiations  for  the  exchange  of  prison- 
ers, accounts  and  vouchers  of  headquarters  expenses,  etc. 

The  last  distinct  sub-group  under  the  military  papers  are  the 
papers  relative  to  the  Provisional  Army  of  1798-9,  which  is,  in 
the  main,  lists  of  names  from  which  to  appoint  officers;  lists 
which  contains  many  names  of  former  officers  of  the  Continental 
army,  with  interesting  notes  of  personal  qualifications  and  Revo- 
lutionary services. 

The  third  main  group  of  the  Washington  papers  is  the  politi- 
cal. Colonial  politics,  pre-Revolutionary  activities  in  Virginia, 
and  papers  relative  to  Washington's  short  service  in  the  Conti- 
nental Congress,  are  closely  allied  to  the  personal  group.  The 
prominent  political  affairs  properly  begin  with  Washington's  in- 
auguration as  President  in  1789.  The  ma.ior  portion  of  the 
papers  from  1789  to  1797  are  in  the  form  of  folio  record  copy 
and  letter  books,  being  letters  to  the  War  Department,  letters 
to  and  from  the  Treasury  Department,  messages  and  communi- 
cations between  the  President  and  the  two  houses  of  Congress, 
the  miscellaneous  or  general  correspondence.  These  record 
books  are  supplemented  by  press  copies  and  drafts,  which  are 
not,  however,  numerous  until  after  the  year  1794,  and  in  some

instances  duplicate  the  copies  entered  in  the  record  hoolvS. 
There  are  complimentary  and  political  addresses  or  documents, 
sometimes  partaking  of  the  nature  of  protests  or  memorials,  the 
observations,  extracts,  summaries,  memoranda,  etc.,  in  Wash- 
ington's autograph,  of  various  of  the  political  problems  of  his 
administration,  and  copious  summaries  of  conditions,  together 
with  opinions  from  members  of  his  cabinet  upon  certain  matters 
submitted  to  their  consideration ;  and  a  journal  of  the  proceed- 
ings of  the  President  1793-1797,  which  is  a  sort  of  diary  of  offi- 
cial action  taken  upon  the  documents  and,  letters  submitted  to 
his  consideration. 

This  is  the  collection  known  as  the  Washington  I'apers.  Other 
Washington  manuscripts  are  in  the  I*apers  of  the  Continental 
Congress,  the  Alexander  Hamilton  papers,  the  Jefferson,  Madi- 
son and  Monroe  collections,  the  Theodorick  Blai\d  papers,  the 
Rochambeau  papers,  and  a  few  in  the  Benjamin  Franklin  and 
John  Paul  Jones  papers. 

The  Library  of  Congress  has  issued  calendars  of  the  miscella- 
neous Washington  manuscripts  (from  the  Peter  Force  purchase) 
that  were  in  its  custody  prior  to  the  transfer  of  the  Washington 
papers  from  the  State  Department  (Washington,  G.  P.  O.,  1901), 
1  volume,  and  of  the  latter  papers,  a  calendar  of  the  Washington 
correspondence  with  the  Continental  Congress  (Washington, 
G.  P.  O.,  1906),  1.  volume,  and  a  calendar  of  the  Washington 
correspondence  with  the  military  officers  of  every  rank  and  in 
every  service  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  1775-1783  (Wash-

The  greater  part  of  the  Webster  Papers  was  left  to  the  New 
Hampshire  Historical  Society  by  Peter  Harvey ;  a  portion,  how- 
ever, had  been  given  to  George  Ticknor  Curtis  as  material  for 
the  preparation  of  his  life  of  Webster.  The  latter  were  after- 
wards kept  in  Mr.  Curtis's  house  in  New  York  City.  He  allowed 
Charles  P.  Greenough  of  Boston  to  make  selections  from  them 
and  the  latter  examined  about  two-thirds  of  the  collection  when 
the  balance  was  removed  to  IVIorrell's  warehouse  where  it  was 
destroyed  by  fire.  Mr.  Greenough  sold  nearly  all  the  remaining 
papers  to  the  Library  of  Congress  in  1903  and  since  then  he  has, 
from  time  to  time  added  letters  to  the  collection  by  gift.  In  its 
present  form  the  collection  comprises  some  2500  pieces  mounted 
in  four  volumes,  dating  from  1804  to  1853,  and  two  portfolios  of

Ezekiel  Webster,  with  John  Davis,  Isaac  Parker,  Jereniiali

ters passing  between  Webster,  Cass,  Clay  (15  letters  between, 
1826-7),  Frelinghuysen,  Rush,  Stephens,  Sumner  and  Wirt. 
They  show  the  feeling  throughout  the  country  towards  the 
administrations  of  John  Quincy  Adams  and  Andrew  Jackson, 
the  development  of  the  anti-Masonic  movement  and  Webster's 
attitude  thereon.  Many  letters  show  the  feeling  aroused  by 
Webster's  remaining  in  President  Tyler's  cabinet  in  1841.  In 
the  diplomatic  correspondence  may  be  noted  five  letters  of  Lord 
Ashburton  in  July,  1842,  and  18  of  Sir  Henry  Bulwer,  Jan-July, 
1851.  There  are  many  letters  on  legal  matters  especially  from 
William  Wirt,  B.  F.  Perry,  George  E.  Badger  and  by  Webster 
himself.  There  are  about  80  letters  of  W^ebster  in  the  entire 
collection,  and  a  number  of  letters  each  from  the  following:

letters  from  each  of  the  following:  John  Barney,  D.  M.  Bar-

letter,  dated  March  18,  1804,  is  from  Webster's  brother,  Ezekiel

political  meetings,  to  deliver  addresses,  etc.  In  addition  to  this 
collection  of  original  manuscripts  there  are  two  portfolios  of

and  papers,  1777-1911,  seven  of  which  contain  articles  prepared 
for  the  press ;  nine  volumes  of  official  letter  books,  covering  the

AGUSTIN  DE  YTURBIDE 

The  papers  of  Agustin  de  Yturbide,  Emperor  of  Mexico  under 
the  title  of  Agustin  I. 

When  Yturbide  abdicated,  March  7,  1823,  and  w^as  banished 
from  Mexico  he  carried  all  his  important  papers  with  him  to 
Italy,  and  then  to  London,  wdiere  he  left  them  when  he  made  his 
last  voyage  to  Mexico.  He  was  captured  and  executed  there, 
July  19, 1824.  Since  his  death,  the  papers  have  been  in  the  hands 
of  his  descendants.  They  were  classified  and  arranged,  some 
years  ago,  by  David  Fergusson,  Esq.,  who  at  one  time  repre- 
sented the  estate  in  the  litigation  in  which  it  was  involved 
against  the  Mexican  Government  and  private  parties. 

The  collection,  which  is  in  good  state  of  preservation,  com- 
prises twenty-one  portfolios,  and  extends  from  1799  to  1876. 
Included  in  it  are  Yturbide's  military  diary,  official  and  per- 
sonal correspondence,  orders,  proclamations,  accounts,  evidence 
of  an  historical  character  gathered  after  the  Emperor's  death, 
and  papers  pertaining  to  the  complexity  of  litigation  in  which 
the  Yturbide  estate  became  involved;  also,  papers  of  Vicente 
Guerrero,  Nicolas  Bravo,  Anastasio  Bustamente,  Anne  Marie 
Huarte  de  Yturbide,  and  Agustin  Gosme  de  Yturbide.

^tie* 'financial  papers  of  Nicholas  Biddle,  president  of  tiie 
Second  Banli  of  tlie  United  States,  were  deposited  with  the 
Library,  in  1913,  by  his  grandsons,  Edward  Biddle  and  Charles 
Biddle,  Esqs.,  of  Philadelphia.  As  the  status  of  the  papers  was 
not  clearly  defined  when  the  ^ copy  for  this  handbook  was  pre- 
pared, the  description  of  them  was  not  inserted  in  its  proper 
place.  ,^. 

As  arranged  and  bound  by  the  Library  the  collection  fills  113 
volumes,  dating  from  1775  to  1846,  exclusive  of  7  folio  volumes 
of  Biddle's  private  letter  book  while  president  of  the  bank. 
The  papers  between  the  years  1822,  the  beginning  of  his  presi- 
dency, and  1840,  when  he  finally  retired  from  the  'United  States 
Bank,  which  succeeded  the  Second  Bank  of  the  United  States 
in  1834,  fill  over  70  volumes  of  the  collection.  They  deal  with 
every  phase  of  the  bank's  business  and  include  minute  and  con- 
tinuous reports  from  Washington  on  the  attitude  of  Congress 
and  the  Executive  toward  the  bank.  The  fiscal  operations  are 
developed  by  the  correspondence  with  subordinate  and  affiliating 
institutions,  and  the  attitude  of  public  opinion  is  brought  out 
by  the  intimate  letters  from  Biddle's  acquaintances.  Daniel 
.Webster  was  the  counsel  for  the  bank  and  Mr.  Biddle's  Intimate 
personal  friend.  There  are  upw^ard  of  100  letters  from  him, 
nearly  all  dealing  with  the  bank's  position  before  Congress 
and  the  Executive,  written  in  the  original  and  often  humorous 
vein  which  characterized  Mr.  Webster's  intimate  correspond- 
ence. There  are  a  number  of  letters  from  Dr.  Thomas  Cooper, 
then  president  of  South  Carolina  College,  one  of  the  first  of
